KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM/FM) — One person is dead after a house fire in Kalamazoo’s Vine Neighborhood.
Kalamazoo Public Safety crews were able to enter the fully-engulfed two-story residence in the 700 block of West Walnut Street after they arrived at around 7:20 a.m. Tuesday, but hoarding conditions and structural concerns forced them back outside, according to a press release.
They were able to control the flames just enough to enter the structure again an hour later. That’s when the body was found on the first floor.
The cause of the fire is still not known. An investigation is underway.
