A person was killed after a fire tore through a one-story home in east Orlando early this morning.
Orlando Fire Department units responded to reports of a fire in the 6000 block of Sextant Court early Wednesday morning.
Upon arrival, firefighters encountered a one-story residence with heavy fire involvement in various portions of the home. The fire was also burning through the roof, according to authorities.
