A fire battalion chief couldn’t say when the person died but told Global News firefighters were only on scene for about an hour.

The chief said he couldn’t comment on the cause or provide any details about the identity of the person. He says he believes only one person was in the vehicle.

The release said the SFD turned control of the scene over to RCMP after extraction.

Medavie Health Services West and RCMP did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
