SAC CITY, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say firefighters have found the body of a man inside a burning house in Sac City. The Sac City Fire Department says police officers arrived at the fire around 7:35 a.m. Monday. A woman outside the home told them her husband was still inside. Heavy smoke kept the officers from going in.
