Two individuals lost their lives in a tragic house fire in Grand Prairie early Saturday morning. Firefighters responded to an emergency call regarding a fire at a residence located in the 3600 block of Green Hollow Drive shortly before 5 a.m.
Upon arrival, crews discovered a home completely engulfed in flames, with the roof beginning to collapse. Firefighters quickly initiated a search for potential victims who might have been trapped inside.
During their efforts, firefighters managed to rescue a man through a window. He was transported to a nearby hospital but was later pronounced dead. Unfortunately, as the search continued for another victim, the structural integrity of the house deteriorated, leading to further complications.
A woman was subsequently located inside the home but was pronounced dead at the scene. In addition, one firefighter sustained minor injuries during the operation and has since been released from the hospital.
The identities of the victims have not yet been disclosed as the investigation into the cause of the fire remains ongoing, led by the Grand Prairie Fire Department.
