Four people are dead after a man intentionally started a fire at his home on Wednesday, according to Florida officials. Three dogs in the house also died in the blaze in Plant City, which is about 25 miles east of Tampa, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. 

Shawn Gossett, 25, was arrested and charged. Police said that he "intentionally started" the fire "with the intent to burn the house down." 

A person inside the home called 911 reporting smoke and saying that they and others were trapped with no way out, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said on social media. The blaze was brought under control in about 20 minutes. Three victims were pulled from a bedroom window, but died on the scene. A fourth person also died, fire officials said.
