Fire rescue crews said after containing the flames at the house on St. Francis Street, they found the two victims inside -- one already dead. CPR was performed on Provan until she could be airlifted to Gainesville.
Initially they reported that the person who died was a man
St. Augustine's fire chief told News4Jax the house was vacant and had no power. He believes the victims might have started a fire to stay warm, and that could have spread to the rest of the house.
