A somber cloud hovers over Manchester, New Hampshire, after an RV fire claimed the lives of two individuals last night. According to the NBC Boston, the Manchester Fire Department arrived at a distressing scene on Brown Avenue around 8 p.m., where they encountered an RV ablaze. Despite their efforts, the inferno, which wrestlers with ferocity before being subdued within half an hour, concealed a tragic revelation.

The insidious fumes had already claimed the breaths of a man and the woman, whose lifeless forms were discovered in the bedroom area of the RV. A grim task awaits the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, who is responsible to determine the cause and the manner of their deaths. With the investigation marching onward, the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office implores anyone with information to step forward by contacting them at 603-223-4289.

Turning to a report from WHDH, a witness offered a potentially critical piece of the puzzle. Situated across the street as the tragedy unfolded, he recounted to emergency crews the chilling sounds of propane tanks exploding prior to the erupting fire. It's a detail that could prove vital as fire officials sift through the ashes in search of answers for a blaze that snatched two lives so suddenly and without mercy.

No names have been released as of yet, a tribute to the painstaking process that ensures dignity for the deceased as their families are notified.
