A man was found dead after a massive house fire in Sunrise Thursday afternoon.

The blaze broke out at the home off NW 21st Court just east of Hiatus Road shortly after 1 p.m.

Crews responded and worked to put out the fire while doing a search inside the home for anyone who may have been there.

Sunrise Fire Department crews later confirmed that the body of one man was found inside the home.

Authorities said another house fire at a property believed to be owned by the same owner of the home on Northwest 21st Court happened about 20 minutes earlier.

The fire remains under investigation.
