Two people have died after their DuBois home caught fire late Monday evening.
Clearfield County Coroner Kim Shaffer Snyder said Louis Corona, 57, and Wendy Hibbert, 54, both of 25 Ridge St., were both pronounced dead at the scene after being found by DuBois volunteer firefighters on the second floor of the home. Autopsies on both of the victims are scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, she said.
DuBois Volunteer Fire Department Acting Fire Chief John "Herm" Suplizio said the first engine was on scene probably within a minute of receiving the call from 911. "It was reported as smoke coming around the eaves at 25 Ridge St., with possible entrapment," said Suplizio, who was the second firefighter to arrive at the scene.
"I could see heavy smoke coming out of the side of the structure on the second floor followed by heavy fire," said Suplizio.
