Officials are investigating a house fire that killed a father and son in Northeast Philadelphia.
The fire broke out around 9 a.m. at a home on the 12000 block of Salina Place. Firefighters brought the flames under control at 9:37 a.m.
Firefighters found two unresponsive people inside the dining room of the home when they searched inside. They were both pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say they were a father and son though they have not yet released their names or ages.
Neighbors tell NBC10 that the father was disabled.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire though they say it began in the living room of the house. They also say that there were many items inside the home which made it difficult to get around.
The American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania announced it will hand out smoke alarms and fire safety information in the Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood Monday afternoon with the fire department and Red Paw.
