The backstory:

Firefighters were dispatched at 4:07 a.m. on March 29 to the 3800 block of Bay Cove Trail SE after a caller reported being trapped in a bathroom with an adult female and said they were being overcome by smoke. Crews arrived on scene minutes later to find a two-story single-family home with visible flames on both the first and second floors.

Using ladders, firefighters entered the structure through second-floor windows and the basement. Two unresponsive adult victims were located and extricated through a front window, where medical crews immediately began treatment. Despite efforts, both were later confirmed dead.

Five patients were transported to area hospitals. Two adults were listed in critical condition, while a third adult and two juveniles who had escaped the home before firefighters arrived were taken to another hospital in stable condition.
