One man is dead after a garage fire in Dallas early Saturday morning.

At 8:17 a.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to a fire oi the 8400 block of Hunnicut Road. When they arrived, they found an attached garage fire that was already extinguished and entered to find an adult male unresponsive and suffering from significant burn injuries.
