A 71-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon in a residential fire in Scottdale, authorities said.

Westmoreland County Coroner Tim Carson identified the victim as Thomas Zeller. A cause and manner of death have not been reported.

Firefighters and first responders were dispatched to a home at 918 Market St., where Zeller lived, about 4:50 p.m., authorities said. Initially, two people were reported to be trapped inside the home.

A woman, whom authorities did not name, was extricated from the fire, a Westmoreland County 911 dispatcher said. The extent of her injuries was unknown.

Multiple neighbors and a passerby called 911 to report the fire, Carson said in a public information report. Firefighters from several departments responded.

Scottdale police, the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office and a state police fire marshal are investigating, authorities said.
