An elderly couple is dead after a house fire in Collin County Tuesday morning.
The fire broke out in Farmersville around 4 a.m.
When emergency crews responded they found the home completely engulfed in flames, the two 80-year-olds inside.
Neighbors say the couple's adult daughter and her son live next door and ran over with police and deputies to try and rescue the couple, but the flames were too intense.
The property was determined to be a total loss. The fire department brought in a bulldozer to knock part of the structure down.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
