Searchers located the body of a woman just before noon on Saturday after a devastating house fire in Wilmington, Delaware, according to the Wilmington Fire Department.<\/p>\n

According to officials, around 4:15 a.m. on May 2, Wilmington firefighters responded to the 2000 block of North Harrison Street in the city’s Triangle neighborhood after receiving reports of a blaze. The flames were so intense that crews had to exit the structure for safety reason, leaving one person unaccounted for. However, around 11:50 a.m., officials confirmed they had located the body of a woman.<\/p>\n

When firefighters arrived, they found heavy fire on all three floors of a three-story, semi-detached dwelling, and they immediately entered to search for occupants and suppress the fire.<\/p>\n

However, due to the extreme fire conditions, Battalion Chief Michael Khairzada, the incident commander, ordered all firefighters to exit the structure, officials said.<\/p>\n

According to the fire department, approximately 25 minutes into the incident, the front section of the structure suffered a total collapse.<\/p>\n
