Video: Man Killed In Mountain View House Fire Involving Explosive Materials

The resident of a home in Mountain View died in a fire early Thursday, officials said.

Firefighters responded to a report of a blaze on the 700 block of Lola Lane shortly after 3 a.m., said Jaime Garrett, a spokeswoman for the Mountain View Fire Department. They worked to extinguish the flames and searched the home, she said.

During that time, she said, live ammunition was going off in the garage and a live power line in the backyard had come down.

Firefighters located the resident, who lived alone and was pronounced dead at the scene, inside the home, Garrett said. The fire was put down around 3:45 a.m.

Firefighters were investigating the cause and origin of the blaze.
