The investigation into Sunday’s fatal house fire in Broadway continues.

The fire started shortly after noon at a home in the 32-hundred block of Deer Cabin Lane  and by the time firefighters were able to get it under control, the house was a total loss.

Rockingham County Fire and Rescue Chief Jeremy Holloway says the fire appears to be accidental in nature.

Holloway confirmed that two people died as a result and their bodies were taken to the medical examiner’s office to determine the exact cause of death as well as positive identification.
