A person was killed Sunday morning in a house fire in Waynesville, authorities said.

Firefighters were called to the 25000 block of Red Oak Road a little after 4:30 a.m. Sunday, the Waynesville Rural Fire Protection District said in a Facebook post. A man who had made it out of the house was outside when firefighters arrived, and he was rushed to a hospital, the fire district says.

Another person whose gender the fire district did not identify was found dead in a back bedroom, the post states. It took about two hours to get the fire under control.

The Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
