PCFR members worked quickly, getting the fire knocked down, and once deemed safe for entry, members conducted a search and found an individual inside the home. The individual was pronounced dead at the scene. Notification of next of kin is pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScenes like this are always tough for all involved \u2014 especially when entrapment is suspected. Our first arriving crews encountered heavy fire conditions. Our crew gained access to the structure and made a valiant effort to locate any entrapped occupants. Our crews located a victim who succumbed to their injuries,\u201d said Fire Chief Shawn Smith. \u201cAll Polk County Fire Rescue members send our condolences to the family and friends of the individual at this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No PCFR member sustained injuries, and the incident is currently under investigation by the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Florida State Fire Marshal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
