PHOTOS: A Nolan County resident lost their life in a tragic house fire late Saturday night. Around 10:30 p.m., crews from the Roscoe and Sweetwater fire departments responded to a home engulfed in flames in the 3900 block of FM 1230. When firefighters arrived, the house was already fully involved, with the roof collapsing. According to Roscoe VFD, it was clear the fire had been burning for quite some time before the call came in. Mutual aid was requested from the Loraine and Colorado City Fire Departments. Crews remained on scene working to contain hot spots well into Sunday morning, with efforts still underway around 5:45 a.m. on April 6. By late Sunday morning, Roscoe VFD confirmed that a resident had been found inside the home and did not survive.
