(KNZA)--Authorities have released the name of the Fairview resident who died in an early Thursday morning house fire.
Brown County Sheriff John Merchant identified the victim as 74-year-old Delores Goens.
Merchant said a family member said she initially escaped the home, but went back inside to try and get her dogs out.
Her husband, Larry Goens, was transported for hospitalized treatment, but was not seriously hurt.
Firefighters responded to the residence in the vicinity of U.S. 36 Highway and Sycamore Street shortly after 3:15 Thursday morning.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but foul play is not suspected.
