OLYMPIA — Authorities say two people were found dead after a house fire north of Olympia.

KOMO-TV reports firefighters responded to the home early Thursday after a man called 911 and said he heard explosions and saw his parents’ house on fire.

South Bay Fire & rescue said the two-story home was fully ablaze when firefighters arrived.

Firefighters weren’t able to enter the home until Thursday afternoon when they found the two bodies.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but police say no criminal activity is suspected.
