An investigation is underway to determine the cause of a deadly house fire overnight in Greenwood.
The flames broke out just before 11 p.m. Thursday night at a house on the east side of the town near 3rd and Pleasant Streets. Greenwood Fire Chief Mark Sobota said one person was killed during the fire, but their identity is unknown right now.
Volunteer firefighters from four different agencies were called in to fight the fire.
Chief Sobota said that crews were having a tough time working to get the fire under control, but eventually did gain the upper hand.
Volunteers from Greenwood were joined by other firefighters from Ashland, Murdock and Waverly. Cass County Emergency Management was also at the scene, as well as the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office and CCSO are both investigating the fire.
