PHOENIX — A man and woman pulled from a burning home in west Phoenix Thursday night have reportedly died.

Phoenix Fire Department officials say the fire broke out near 107th Avenue and Camelback Road.

Firefighters from multiple West Valley cities responded to the blaze.

During a search of the inside of the home, firefighters found a man and woman unconscious and not breathing. They were pulled from their home and taken to hospitals for treatment.
