RCMP believe a woman and teenager were unable to escape before a fire destroyed a family duplex in a small hamlet west of Edmonton early Tuesday morning. Two elderly residents, related to the woman and teen, were evacuated from one side of the duplex by the officer, RCMP said. RCMP would not confirm whether the woman and teenager are believed to be dead. The Han family that owns a local grocery store, Evansburg Family Foods, lived in the duplex. It's a local family — it's not a community, it's a local family," Finch told CBC News in a phone interview Tuesday night.
