At least one other person was taken to hospital due to their injuries, officials said. An update on their condition was not immediately available.

Crew fought with smoke and heavy flames until they could finally contain the fire.

The names of the victims have not yet been released and officials are still working to determine the cause of the fire. Deputies said the deaths were considered suspicious.

Michael Schadow, who lives in the neighborhood where the fire took place, said it was tragic to see what happened at his neighbor’s home.

“We always go around the area at night or early, so it’s really shocking to find out if people went through it and lost their lives,” Schadow said.

Schadow has lived there for decades and said the fire did not resemble anything he had ever seen.

“I was 23 here three years ago and have never seen a fire like this,” Schadow said.

No other details were immediately available.
