A body was discovered by firefighters Saturday night under the debris of a house fire in South Dallas, officials said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to a structure fire reported at a home in the 4000 block of Spring Avenue at about 10:34 p.m., Jason Evans, a spokesperson for Dallas Fire-Rescue, said.
When firefighters arrived they reported seeing heavy fire conditions coming from the one-story home and quickly worked to extinguish the fire, he said.
After the fire was declared out around 11:21 p.m., a body was found inside the home underneath debris from a partial roof collapse, Evan said.
