Four people were injured in the fire, and two of them later died. Officials said they were the residents of 1622 Saybrook Road.

Officials said that four people from the scene were taken to Middlesex Hospital and Hartford Hospital. No children were reported to be taken to the hospital. At this time the condition of the victims is not known.

Lifestar was called to the scene but was unable to fly due to weather conditions.

According to officials, there were reports that neighbors had gone into the home to help the people inside. 

The fire reportedly took a while to knockdown due to the rural area the home is located in and the lack of a hydrant nearby. Mutual aid came from the Durham, Middlefield, Haddam, Deep River, and Killingworth fire departments.

The Middletown Fire Marshal along with the State Police Fire Marshal is on scene investigating.
