A person has died and four others are injured from a house fire in New Bedford. 

The fire was reported yesterday afternoon at a multi-family home on Cotter Street, and arriving crews found flames coming from the windows and the roof. 

Three people were able to escape on their own, and one person had to be rescued from the home by firefighters. 

One person was pronounced dead at the scene, and the four residents were taken to the hospital with unspecified injuries.
