A house already gutted by flames collapsed Friday afternoon while firefighters  worked to extinguish the blaze, which left two adult brothers dead.

Neighbors said the two men  were inside the burning home in the 500 block of Seventh Street in German  Township, Fayette County.

Neighbors identified the victims as James and  Wilbur Shea. They described both as elderly and slow-moving, saying one brother  recently had a stroke, which limited his movement.

“It was starting to  deteriorate rapidly, so we did pull our crews out,” said Adah Volunteer Fire  Department Assistant Chief Ryan Huhn.
