Two people are dead following a house fire in Gibson County. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:
Crews responded to the blaze in the 7000 block of East State Road 64, just east of Francisco, at about 6:25 Tuesday morning.
Gibson County Sheriff Bruce Vanoven says first responders entered the burning house and discovered a deceased person.
Vanoven says officers could go no further inside the house because of dangerous fire conditions.
He says once Francisco firefighters arrived on scene, a second person was discovered deceased inside the residence.
The names of the deceased have not yet been released.
There’s also no word on the cause of the fire.
Francisco, Oakland City, Barton Township and Patoka firefighters all responded to the scene.
