LOST LAKE – The investigation continues into a house fire that took six lives in rural Ogle County.
After midnight Tuesday morning a 911 call came from within the home according to Sheriff Brian VanVickle. When emergency personnel arrived on the scene they found the home engulfed in flames.
The Ogle County Coroner will be using dental records to confirm the identities of those in the home, but it was confirmed it was two parents and four children, all from the same family. The names are expected to be released later this afternoon.
Sheriff VanVickle noted that as of right now the fire does not seem suspicious in nature, but their office, the Illinois State Fire Marshall, and the Illinois State Police are continuing their investigation.
