INDIANAPOLIS — Two people died in a house fire in Indianapolis that a relative believes was started when a kerosene heater exploded.
Indianapolis Fire Department spokesman Greg Harris says a woman is hospitalized in critical condition and three other people had minor injuries.
The relative said 84-year-old James Maye and 44-year-old Jacqueline K. Love died in the fire.
Harris says the wood-frame home on the city’s north side was in flames when firefighters arrived around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Two Indianapolis police officers were treated for smoke inhalation after entering the home to rescue victims.
