Investigators are not releasing the identity of the person killed.

But, we do know that homeowner Richard Cary made it out of the fire safely. He lived at the home year round with his 80-year-old wife.
He is an architect, who sits on the town's Fire Rescue Building Committee. His expertise and input helped in building the new fire department.
Town leaders spoke off camera with News 9, saying they are heartsick and devastated by this tragic fire.
Investigators say they responded to Cary's home after he called 911. When fire fighters arrived on scene, his wife was trapped.
An underground propane tank added more fuel to the fire.
"Units attempted initial knockdown of a thousand gallons of water with little effect," said Chief Adam Thompson, of the Tuftonboro Fire Department.
The fire quickly went to three alarms. Crews from neighboring towns came to help extinguish the flames.
Now, investigators are trying to determine what triggered it.

"We're still conducting interviews with the homeowner. As you would imagine he's upset," Raymond said.
Among the things the State Fire Marshals Office will look at, includes the possibility of faulty wires and making sure the furnace was working properly.
