Action News Jax spoke with a man who ran to the home after realizing something was wrong. He said someone kicked in the front door and the smoke was very thick.
A neighbor told Action News Jax says an elderly man and his wife live at the home. He said the man made it out of the home and was taken to the hospital.
One from the fire scene has been transported to the hospital and unfortunately one fatality in the house.
