TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD AFTER A FIRE IN LUZERNE COUNTY. DALLAS BOROUGH FIRE CHIEF HARRY VIVIAN TELLS US THE FIRE STARTED AT AROUND 6:30. SEVERAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS RUSHED TO THE HOUSE ON NORTON AVENUE. FIREFIGHTERS WORKED AS FAST AS THEY COULD -- BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO SAVE THE TWO PEOPLE INSIDE.
NEIGHBORS TELL US A FAMILY OF THREE LIVED IN THE HOUSE. AN OLDER COUPLE WITH A GROWN DAUGHTER. THEY SAY THE DAUGHTER WAS NOT HOME AT THE TIME. FIRE OFFICIALS ARE NOT RELEASING THE NAMES OF THE VICTIMS AT THIS HOUR. THEY'RE ALSO STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED THE BLAZE THERE IN LUZERNE COUNTY
