STILLWATER — Two are dead after a fatal house fire that's being investigated by arson and major crimes units, officials confirmed today.

One person died in the blaze — but in a strange twist, the driver of an ambulance carrying one of the victims of the fire died as he drove to the hospital, authorities said. The patient in the ambulance survived.

Haha always one of those comments on these news things.

"WE ARE NOT AMBULANCE DRIVERS!!!!!! when the hell is news/ media going to realize that emts/medics are not "drivers" just like cops aren't cop car drivers and firemen aren't fire engine drivers....we got to school to save lives, not to drive a truck!!! plus, out of all emergency services we get the least pay and least respect but are always the ones called when fire/police and regular civilians get hurt...get it together people+media."

The guy has a point, but still sort of a sad story.
