Fire engines from the Longolongo station rushed to the home, on Salote Rd, in Kolofo’ou shortly after 12am.

“Two people have been located deceased inside the property,” a family member told Kaniva News.

He said three other people including two elderly persons “ongo vaivai” have been taken to hospital after the fire.

The big old white house was known to many as the Percival residence.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
