DAYTON -- The Montgomery County Coroner's Office says a Dayton man has died after being injured in an early-morning fire on Sunday.
The fire happened after 3:30 a.m. on 2819 Preston Street.
Neighbors tell us the man was still inside the home when firefighters arrived and he was unconscious.
"It wasn't too long before they brought him out and started working on him to try to revive him," said Anthony Dickson.
Dickson and another neighbor, Eric James, tried to break the windows to get inside the home.
They say they used sticks and other items to try and break out the windows after flames filled the front porch.
"The house was full of smoke," James said. "We were trying to get in, but there was no way that we could have gotten in there."
Investigators say the fire's suspicious.
The victim's name has not yet been released.
