One person is dead following a Perinton fire

One person is dead following a fire in the Town of Perinton early Saturday morning.

Monroe County deputies say that just after midnight, residents of a house on Chesfield Lookout woke up to find smoke in the house.

One person did not get out of the home, and was found dead by firefighters. The fire was mostly contained to an upstairs bedroom.

The cause of the fire will be investigated but officials say it does not appear to be suspicious.

Firefighters from several departments responded to the fire. The name of the person who died has not been released yet pending confirmation of the identity by the Medical Examiner’s Office.
