The first call on the fire came in at 12:10 p.m, Salem Fire officials said. Fire crews responded within minutes and found a home at Roseland Mobile Park fully engulfed in flames. Two fire engines responded to battle the blaze, and emergency personnel found a man inside the residence and took him to an ambulance.

Crews attempted to resuscitate the individual but stopped after it was determined he was deceased.
