KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — The family has identified the man who did not make it out of a burning home on North Rose Street alive Monday night.
They say 60-year-old R.C. Jones was in the basement when the fire broke out and could not escape.
His brother, Eddie Jones, managed to exit the home through a window and call 9-1-1 but first responders found the home fully engulfed in flames and could not attempt a rescue.
Jones says his brother was trapped in the cellar.
The city Fire Marshal is looking for the cause of the late night fire.
