Two Ketchikan residents died in an early-morning house fire Wednesday. Ketchikan Fire Marshal Gretchen O’Sullivan announced the tragic news in a statement Wednesday afternoon. The fire marshal says a third resident of the Denali Avenue home escaped the blaze and is staying with family.
Fire crews got the call just before 5 a.m. Wednesday.
“We responded this morning to a structure fire. When the fire crews got here, the house was well involved,” said Ketchikan Fire Department Fire Chief Scott Brainard.
