Police say the suspect died during an exchange of gunfire. One police officer was shot in the hand but will be okay.
Police used a flash-bang grenade to distract the suspect when they felt the firefighters were in "immediate danger".
Five firefighters were originally taken hostage after responding to a reported medical call at the residence near Collins Hill Rd. and Taylor Rd.
The suspect let one man go to move the fire truck. The four remaining firefighters are all okay.
According to property tax records, the home where the firefighters were held hostage was foreclosed on November 2012. After the house was foreclosed on, the mortgage switched hands from Wells Fargo to Freddie Mac.
11Alive learned, on the scene, that the suspect had been living in the home for more than a decade. Neighbors say that lately the house began to look unkempt and that the grass hadn't been cut.
Although the suspect demanded that the lights and utilities be cut on to release the firefighters -- neighbors say they saw the lights on, in the house, as recently as Tuesday.
Authorities confirmed that the gunman made demands, during his initial contact with dispatch, that service be restored to his utilities which included cable and phone.
