ZION, Ill. - Three people were killed after a fire broke out at home Tuesday night in north suburban Zion.

The two-story home caught fire just before midnight in the 2900 block of Enoch Avenue, according to the Zion Fire & Rescue Department.

Several local fire agencies responded to the blaze. Search-and-rescue teams found a man and two women inside the home. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Lake County Coroners Office said all three victims resided in the home where the fire took place.
