Though firefighters were able to get the flames under control in a span of minutes, a person was found dead in a bedroom, where the fire is believed to have started, a JFRD chief said. The person's name and age were not immediately released.
No foul play is suspected, the chief said.
The state fire marshal's office told News4Jax on Tuesday that investigators have not uncovered any indications of suspicious activity surrounding the fire.
The investigation continues.
