MARION, Ind. (AP) — Northeastern Indiana officials say a house fire in Marion has killed a man and a woman and the couple’s four dogs.
WTRV-TV reports authorities identified the two victims killed in Saturday morning’s fire as 61-year-old Robin Lyons and 55-year-old Melody Teegarden.
The local coroner says the couple lived in the home with four dogs which also died in the 9 a.m. fire in the city about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Firefighters say they had trouble gaining entry to the home because furniture was blocking the front door.
The fire’s cause remains under investigation.
