STANTONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities say one person has died in a fire that broke out at a West Tennessee business.

McNairy County Sheriff Ricky Roten says firefighters were called in to contain the fire at the Stantonville Pallet warehouse around 2:30 p.m. Monday.

Roten said he could not provide any details about the person who died because the body had not yet been identified.

Investigators are also trying to determine what caused the fire.

A representative of the warehouse could not be reached for comment Monday by The Jackson Sun newspaper.
