2 Bodies Found In Winchester Fire Wreckage

WINCHESTER, CA — The burned bodies of two people were discovered in a fire early Wednesday morning, Cal Fire and sheriff's officials report. Investigators are on scene to determine what may have sparked the blaze.

The fire was discovered upon a "report of smoke" in the 31000 block of Olive Avenue — which is in the area of Leon Road and Domenigoni Parkway — just after 6 a.m., according to April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department.

Once on scene, crews discovered a 25-foot motorhome "partially involved in fire," according to Newman and sheriff's officials.

"Two victims, both confirmed fatalities, were located inside the motorhome," Newman said.

Sheriff's Deputy Mike Vasquez tells Patch the sheriff's department took over the investigation upon the discovery of the bodies. It's not yet clear if they were men or women or how old they were.

"We're working to determine if it's a crime scene or if this is an accident," he said.

Additional details were not immediately available.
