A person was found on the first floor of the home and they were taken to an area hospital, Emery said. He and other state and local officials said later in the day that the person, characterized as an "older" man died at the hospital. His name and age weren't given.
The floor on the first floor started to give way after the man was removed from the building, so fire crews were pulled out of the house.
