We have more information about the deadly fire that killed a mother and teenage daughter in Perry Township on Thursday. The Allen County Coroner Office hasn't officially released the names, but a GoFundMe page set up to help the Money family, says that mother and daughter, Heather and Destiney Money, were the ones killed in the fire. The post then goes on to say, that the husband and father, Joey was at work at the time the fire broke out. We reached out to the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office, who is investigating the fire, to see if they have determined a cause, but they have not responded to our request. Perry Local Schools held vigil Friday night for the Money family.

A very unfortunate start to the New Year as two people have died in a home fire early Thursday(1/2/20) morning. Perry Township Fire Department was called to a fire just after 6 o’clock at 4601 McPheron Road. Scanner traffic says two people were trapped inside the home when the call came in and both died in the blaze. Their names have not been released yet, we are waiting on the Allen County Coroner’s Office to release their identity. Perry Township called in additional fire departments including Bath, Harrod, and Lafayette for manpower and water. The Ohio Fire Marshal's office was brought in to help with the investigation. So they can determine a cause, they will try to pinpoint where the fire started.
