Woman found dead in westside house fire

Police are working to identify a woman found inside a home following a fire.   It happened early Friday at a home on Cisco Drive.

Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers tell our partner Action News Police confirmed the victim is dead and is a woman. We are still working to learn her name and the cause of the fire.

One neighbor we talked to said he tried to get inside to save the woman; he also said she leaves behind a husband who was away at work when the fire began.

JFRD first got the call to extinguish the flames just before 11p.m. Thursday night. They found the victim inside a short time later and called the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in to investigate.
