More information is being reported following the early-morning fatal house fire on Wednesday in the Ivy Bend-Stover area.

Online reports indicate 27-year-old Stefani Crook, a School of the Osage graduate, died in the fire along with several pets after being trapped in the house. A second person, identified as Crook’s mother, was able to escape with minor injuries.

The fire in the 9000 block of Acorn was discovered around 5:00-AM by a neighbor and, by the time fire units arrived on the scene, the structure was fully involved with a partial collapse and the fire spreading into the nearby wooded area.
