According to prosecutor's office, Joseph Apisa, 76, was trapped inside his first-floor bedroom. They say his body was recovered at the scene.

The fire broke out Tuesday around 2:22 a.m. at the home at 42 Raven Road, and burned for several hours before crews put it out before sunrise. The two-story home was completely destroyed by the fire.

Joseph’s wife, Rosemary, was treated and released for smoke inhalation.
