The mother and her adult son died after being taken to the hospital, but their exact cause of death and their identities have not been released.
"She's just a sweet lady just, just as sweet as they come out of her way," said neighbor Sylvia Wayment of the woman killed in the fire. "Give the shirt off her back, great personality traits, good neighbor, great neighbor."
Two police officers were the first to arrive on the scene were injured due to breaking glass to get inside the home. They were treated at a local medical center and not transported to the hospital.
"These are really challenging situations for firefighters, the conditions, the fire itself, and then having homeowners, the conditions that they are in, having to be taken to the hospital like they were, it's difficult day for firefighters," said Roy Fire Chief Theron Williams.
