Investigators have found two bodies in the burned-out rubble of a home in an exclusive southwest Reno neighborhood. They have been unable to identify the victims who died in the blaze, which began shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Deputies with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office had attempted to serve an eviction at the home, which was under foreclosure, on Tuesday at about 10:40 a.m. They said they knocked and identified themselves, then heard what sounded like gunfire or an explosion and took cover.

Deputies called for backup from the Reno Fire Department, SWAT Team, Consolidated Bomb Squad and Hostage Negotiation Team. Firefighters spent hours trying to douse the flames which continually flared, subsided and flared again for hours.
