Officials know a probable identification for the two victims, she said, but DNA or dental confirmation is needed before those identities can be released officially. The bodies will be sent to the state crime lab for autopsy. 

The fire was reported sometime around 2:30 a.m., and the coroner was called around 3 a.m., she said. 

This is a developing story.
