One person is dead following a fire in New Jersey Sunday evening.
The house fire on River Drive in Garfield was first spotted by a police officer who attempted to rescue the person that was stuck inside, according to the Bergen Record.
He called in the fire and attempted to enter the house, but the flames pushed him out, authorities told the Record.
The fire started in the kitchen on the first floor of the two-story home, authorities said. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
The victim has been identified as Denise D'Agostino.
A cat was rescued at the scene.
