"By the time I arrived, the aftermath was horrible. Everything was burned to smithereens," said Allen Davis, who drove past the large fire response. "It’s horrific for the people, for the remaining family members or the loved ones. So my prayers to the families and all their associates."

Their cause of death, along with the woman's identity, have yet to be released.

The cause and origin of the fire is currently being investigated.

"It’s more complex because of the severity of the fire and how much of the house was damaged, but the investigators are going to go through all parts of the house and what’s remaining and they’re going to do an extensive investigation to determine why this occurred," said Trooper Nathan Branosky, of PA State Police Troop M.
