Authorities say two people were found dead inside a burning home in Berkshire County on Monday, Nov. 24.

Neighbors on Francis Street in North Adams called 911 shortly after 7 a.m. to report the blaze and to say there could be people inside, the Berkshire County District Attorney's Office said.

Fire crews rushed to the scene and forced their way inside through the basement. Firefighters found the two bodies inside the house as they put out the blaze. 

Officials have not publicly identified the victims yet as they work to notify their family members.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of their deaths.
