Fire

Andersen said firefighters decided to get above the flames and drown them.

This last week it has been bitterly cold in Chicago. So cold that things are not "business as usual." However, that doesn't mean it's not lacking in excitement. For the cowboy state, it has been quite the opposite weather-wise and you won't hear us complaining.

Fire investigators have determined the fire was caused by a process known as "pyrolysis."

It's one of those things you think only happens to other people. For one Casper family, the fear of losing everything in a fire became their reality and they need help as they try to recover.

Firefighting crews will continue to mop up and monitor the area.

It took until 1 a.m. for 16 firefighters and two command officers to extinguish the blaze.

It's one of those things you hope and pray never happens to you. For one Bar Nunn family, it is unfortunately now reality as they lost everything in a house fire. Do you have a heart to help?

Seven units, three investigators, and department chief officers responded.

Chief Deputy Coroner Wayne Reynolds said in a statement that the cause and manner of both deaths remain under investigation.

The identities of the female and male will be released upon notification of the families.

The crews fought the blaze for about 30 minutes until it was out. After that, they found the second victim and she was dead.

No cause of death has been released.
