Firefighters found a male victim and multiple animals dead early Saturday morning following a well-engulfed house fire in Marengo, officials said.

The Marengo Fire Protection District responded around 4:30 a.m. Saturday to the 400 block of North Hale Street in Marengo for a report of a structure fire.

Marengo Fire Protection District Chief John Kimmel said that despite a quick response time from firefighters, whose station is nearby, the home was fully engulfed in flames on their arrival.

The Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) was activated to bring additional firefighters and equipment to the scene.

Firefighters battled the fire for approximately 90 minutes before getting the blaze under control, Kimmel said.

After the fire was under control, firefighters located a male victim deceased inside the residence.

“We are not disclosing any additional information on that individual at this time,” Kimmel said.

Multiple animals were also found dead inside the home.

The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal and the McHenry County Coroner’s Office was called to the scene to assist in the investigation.

A damage estimate was not immediately available but the home was considered a total loss.
