Two people are dead as a result of a house fire Friday afternoon in Comox, B.C.
According to Deputy Chief Rick Shelton of Comox Fire Rescue, one person was found just outside the structure and the second was inside. Unfortunately, both were found deceased.
“When I arrived, I found a residential one-storey structure fully engulfed in flame on the Charlie side, which is the back side of the house, heavily involved in smoke and fire,” Shelton says. “They were family members that lived close by," he says. "They had family members living next door on the adjacent property and they heard the explosion and came over and by that time the house was completely involved in fire.”
