Hillsborough County Fire Rescue units are on the scene of a fire in Wimauma where at least one person has died.

The fire is located at U.S. 301 and Janes Drive. Fire Rescue on scene said the fire started in a house and then spread to nearby trees.

Officials said units were called to the scene at 7:47 p.m. Thursday evening. When they arrived they found multiple small structures and an RV on fire, and that the fire had spread to nearby brush and trees. 

Through the progression of efforts to knock the fire down 33 Fire Rescue units responded to the scene. Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office also sent deputies and their aviation unit. 

Due to the lack of fire hydrants in the area, two water tankers from Manatee County were called in to shuttle water into the scene to fight the fire. 

Three residents were able to escape from the fire, while a fourth was initially unaccounted for. That person was eventually found dead after a search. 

No further information has been released.
