House fire kills two people
Two people died in an early morning house fire in Pine Canyon, which is west of King City.
When firefighters got inside the single family home, they found an unconscious resident behind the front door. The victim later died in the hospital.
Firefighters found the second victim in the back bathroom. That victim died at the scene.
According to Cal Fire, the home is a total loss. It took firefighters about 40 minutes to put the fire out, which broke out just after midnight. The fire didn’t spread beyond the home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Multiple agencies responded, including South Monterey County Fire Protection District, Cal Fire, AMR, and the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.
