Investigators look for clues to the fatal fire that claimed the lives of two people early Tuesday morning at 4114 Robinwood Drive. By Ellie Bogue of The News-Sentinel Fire investigators look for clues to the fatal fire that claimed the lives of two people early Tuesday morning at 4114 Robinwood.
UPDATED: Identities released of two killed in house fire
News-Sentinel staff reports
The identities have been released of the two people killed early Tuesday morning in a house fire.
According to a news release from the Allen County Coroner's Office, Carson W. Tubbs, 20, and Jonette N. Chacon, 19, died of asphyxia due to smoke inhalation as a result of the blaze at 4114 Robinwood Drive. Their deaths have been ruled accidental.
According to Stacey Fleming, a spokeswoman for the Fort Wayne Fire Department, a woman woke up to the smell of smoke around 3:37 a.m. and called 911 after she and her daughter evacuated from their residence at 4114 Robinwood Drive.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered heavy smoke and fire coming from the structure and were told two more people -- the woman's son and his fiancee -- were still inside the house. Firefighters entered the residence and located Tubbs and Chacon, but both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe there was no working smoke detector in the home at the time of the fire, and the fire likely started started near a wall, behind a Christmas tree. One firefighter was injured in the blaze to the two-story home, which was brought under control at 4:09 a.m.
The siding on the house was warped and buckled, and most of the windows were broken out. Small piles of debris lay nearby. The siding on the house to the north was melted, attesting to the heat of the blaze.
The incident remains under investigation.

Two people died in an early morning house fire Tuesday on the city's southeast side.
Firefighters responded to 4114 Robinwood Drive at 3:41 a.m. to heavy smoke and fire coming from the home, the Fort Wayne Fire Department said in a statement.
A woman and her daughter evacuated from the home and called 911, the statement said.
Fire crews entered the home and found a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman inside, the statement said. Both died at the scene.
Firefighters found a fire near the wall behind the Christmas tree of the one-story home, and said it took them about a half-hour to get the fire under control.
"The investigation is ongoing, and we hope to determine a cause within the next few days," said Stacey Fleming, fire department spokeswoman.
She said the fire did not appear suspicious in nature.
Fleming said the Allen County Coroner's Office would release the identities of the two people who died in the fire. The fire department written statement said the two were engaged.
There was heavy fire, water and smoke damage to the home, the statement said.
Investigators believe there was not a working smoke detector in the home. The cause remains under investigation.
A firefighter sustained a minor injury at the scene, Fleming said.
A woman living across the street from the home said residents in the neighborhood are a tight-knit group. She said she woke up early Tuesday but that the fire was already out.
