Kaysville • Authorities say a 76-year-old man is dead following a house fire in Kaysville.
The Kaysville Fire Department says crews from several agencies responded to the fire Friday night but couldn’t immediately get inside the home because of “heavy fire conditions” that had flames coming out of the windows.
The victim was discovered after firefighters were able to put out the fire and search the home.
The victim’s identity wasn’t released, but he was believed to be the only occupant of the home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
