I see a thief.
>>all right.
Thank you steve we're following a developing story out of berks county this morning where the coroner was called to the scene of a fire.
>>flames broke out in exeter township just after midnight in wfmz is alexander hogan has been following the story for us she joins us live now with more alexandra.
>>police did release the identity of the person who died in the fire in the home behind me.
He was 71 year-old ronald sugar and his twin brother donald was here earlier this morning talking about what his brother was like now you can see some other family members that are here.
Ronald had 3 daughters, many of them are here collecting personal items of his again a devastating of mourning as neighbors tried to wake up when the fire broke out around 1215 some of them even going in banging on his door, however, he was not able to make it out even when the fire crews responded they tried entering the home but it was simply too hot.
Eventually they did find ronald's body later that morning.
So we do have video that we can show you what the scene looked like earlier this morning again, this is the bryce villa park residential area in exeter township this is the 4800 block of her keleman street when the fire did break out there was heavy smoke that was billowing out into the streets something neighbors say was terrified.
>>and i see the flames coming out of the middle.
And it all went i ran back inside to get right >>and it was just all the south and it's where you could just hear the sounds of the trailer like breaking down and the car started going off and everything was allowed it was actually pretty traumatized and not aligned because i haven't seen anything quite like that.
>>traumatizing and heartbreaking for not only neighbors but also again the family here of 71 year-old ronald sugar who died in the fire that broke out early this morning, we know from authorities at that ronald was actually a volunteer fire police officer, here in berks county he had been won for years, however he just stepped down earlier this year to take care of his sick mother, however, his twin brother says that mother moved in with him until she died just months ago now he himself is having to not only deal with that
