A garage fire in Rosamond left one person dead Monday morning, according to the Kern County Fire Department.

According to officials, fire crews responded to the fire in the area of 1500 Franklin Avenue. When they arrived, they found a 250 square foot detached garage fully involved with heavy smoke and flames. They were also told that a person was inside the garage.
