Two people died after a fire consumed a home in Grand Prairie early Saturday, Oct. 17, and a firefighter was injured while responding, authorities said.

Crews found a man inside and removed him through a window. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Firefighters searching for a second person had to evacuate as the home's walls began to collapse, the department said. A woman was later found inside and pronounced dead at the scene.
One firefighter was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and has since been released. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
