Clark County Fire Department crews responded to a two-story house around 7:15 p.m. after receiving multiple calls from people who said the whole structure was ablaze and it was unclear if anyone is inside.
Crews could not get inside the house right away due to the strength of the fire. But once they got inside the house, a man was found dead.
Authorities said the name and age of the man and the cause of death weren’t immediately known.
