CLARKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities have identified a woman killed in a fire in a western Pennsylvania home.

Officials say the blaze in Clarksville was reported shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday in the Clarksville home.

The East Bethlehem Township, Richeyville, Denbo and Bentleyville volunteer fire departments responded to the scene, along with Brownsville EMS.

The Washington County coroner’s office says 40-year-old Chanel Bikowicz was pronounced dead almost three hours later.
