Detectives investigating death of man found during house fire

Authorities are investigating the death of a man who Trenton firefighters found inside a burning home early Sunday.

City fire companies arrived at the home on Summer Street shortly after 12 a.m. for a reported house fire and found flames shooting from the windows on both floors, Battalion Chief Gus Tackacs said.

Rescue Co. 1 made an aggressive and valiant attempt to save the man by removing him from the first floor amongst the flames, but he did not survive, Tackacs said.
