Man dies after being pulled from burning home in Bear, Del., officials say

A man has died, officials said, after firefighters pulled him from a burning home in Bear, Delaware on Tuesday night.

According to fire officials, the Delaware City Fire Company responded to a house fire along North Dragon Drive in the Kingsmill Trailer Park on Tuesday night — though, they didn’t immediately provide a specific time — to find smoke coming from a residence.

Upon learning that someone may have been trapped inside, officials said, firefighters entered the structure and found a man inside the property.

The man, who officials did not immediately provide further identifying information on, was removed from the property and treated at the scene.

However, officials said, he succumbed to his injuries after being taken to a nearby hospital.

An investigation into the cause of the fire, officials said, is ongoing.
