Police have released the names of the two victims of a fatal fire in the town of Lena.

They say 47-year-old Dennis Fry and his wife, 48-year-old Karen Fry, died in the fire.

Early Tuesday morning, several departments responded to Beschta Lane in the town of Lena for a reported structure fire in a manufactured home.

Officials say the home was engulfed in flames when they arrive.

It is believed that the residents were at home and had not escaped.

As crews put the fire out, firefighters located a body next to the home and later found a body inside.

Officials have ruled the fire suspicious and the investigation is ongoing.
