VIDEO/PHOTOS: Two people were found dead early Tuesday in a house fire that engulfed a residence in the Town of Shullsburg, according to the Lafayette County Sheriffโs Office. Someone heading home from work reported the fire on Dunbarton Road just after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The first Lafayette County deputy to arrive at the home reported the center of the home was covered in flames, explained Lafayette County Sheriff Reg Gill.
The deputy could not go inside because of heavy fire and smoke. Once fire crews arrived, the home was up in flames and too intense to enter safely at the time, the sheriffโs office added.
After the fire was contained and the firefighters could enter around 5 a.m., they found two people dead inside of a bedroom. Names of the two people found dead have not yet been released.
