Two people are dead after a house fire in
St. Paul.


      St. Paul Fire Marshal Steve Zaccard tells the St. Paul Pioneer
Press a motorist called 911 around 4:15 a.m.
Tuesday after seeing flames. By the time firefighters arrived,
Zaccard says flames were spilling out the windows, doors and sides
of the house.


      He says firefighters discovered the body of a bedridden woman at
about 7 a.m. in the rear bedroom. The man's body was found later on
an upstairs bedroom floor.


      St. Paul fire Chief Tim Butler says the family indicated only
two people lived in the home - a 66-year-old woman and a
71-year-old man. No one else is believed to be inside.


      The fire department is awaiting confirmation of the pair's
identity from the medical examiner's office.
