The Adair County Coroner’s Office was called out to a structure fire at 1776 Bull Run Rd. early Sunday morning.

The Adair County Fire Department had been battling its second blaze of the night, with the first fire reported to have taken place on Hwy. 55 south of Columbia.

A call to a second fire came about midnight to Bull Run Rd., where two people were found deceased after firefighters fought to control the blaze that destroyed the home.

Coroner Sierra Durbin told the Adair County Community Voice on Sunday that the bodies were taken to the Medical Examiner’s office in Louisville for identification.

While names have not been officially released, Big Dawg News has learned that David Collins, who served as District 7 Constable after being appointed last year, and Charlotte Keezer resided at the residence.

Their families have been notified.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Adair County Coroner’s Office are investigating.

Also during the fire, a firefighter was injured after a chimney fell on him. He received medical care but is said to be in good condition.

The Community Voice will release more information as it becomes available.
