Two dead in fire that broke out in Millcreek Township mobile home early Sunday

Two people are dead in a fire that broke out in a mobile home in Millcreek Township early Sunday morning.

The fire was reported on Sunday at 12:52 a.m. at 2730 Ganzer Lane, off West Ridge Road, according to Millcreek police and Erie County 911. The mobile home was fully engulfed in flames when fire and police arrived on scene, Millcreek police reported.

Authorities said two people died in the fire. The victims are believed to be two males, ages 20 and 19, but authorities are still working to confirm the identities, Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook said.

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene at 2:36 a.m. Sunday, according to Cook.

A man and a woman who police said were also in the house, both 57 years old, managed to escape the fire and were taken to UPMC Hamot, investigators said.

A dog and a cat also died in the fire, police reported.

The Millcreek Fire Department and the West Ridge, West Lake, Kearsarge and Lake Shore volunteer departments were called to the scene to fight the fire.

A Millcreek police investigator is working with the Pennsylvania State Police on the investigation into the fire. Anyone with information that could assist in the investigation is asked to call Millcreek police Cpl. Ryan Bolash at 814-833-7777.
