2 Found Dead Following Minnetonka House Fire
MINNETONKA (AP) — Minnetonka fire officials who put out a late-night house fire say two people were found dead inside.

Flanders says six fire departments responded and were able to extinguish the fire fairly quickly.
The identities of the victims have not been released.
Officials are investigating what caused the fire and how the victims died.
