INDIANAPOLIS — Firefighters said one person is dead after a house fire on the near east side of Indianapolis on Saturday night.
The Indianapolis Fire Department said a neighbor called 911 just after 8:30 p.m. when they saw a home on fire in the 600 block of North Temple Avenue, near Michigan and East St. Clair streets.
The two-story home had heavy smoke and fire showing from the front when firefighters arrived.

During their primary search, firefighters found 56-year-old Randy Slye dead inside the home.
The fire was quickly contained to the front of the home, and by 9 p.m. it was under control.
IFD investigators ruled the death accidental. Firefighters could not determine the cause of the fire.
