One person is dead after a house fire in Deep River on Saturday evening.
Emergency crews responded to a home on West Bridge Lane around 6:15 p.m., according to state police.
Firefighters from several nearby departments helped fight the fire.
A neighbor tried to help put out the fire before firefighters arrived.
"As soon as I walked out my backdoor, I see flames and I thought it was a leaf fire at first, I thought it was just like somebody had a bonfire but it got carried away, but I’m like dude that’s a fire so I ran and as I soon it was that big -- grabbed my fire extinguisher," Joseph Kostenko said.
The fire marshal is investigating.
