An elderly husband and wife were killed in a late night fire. Crews were called to the home at around 11 p.m. Saturday night.

Fire destroyed the 1 1/2 story home at 2 Virginia Drive in Lincolnville. Rescue personnel found 79-year-old Virginia Dyer and her 81-year-old husband Eugune Dyer, but weren't able to resuscitate the couple.

The State Fire Marshal's office says the fire appears to have started in a connected storage area of the home between the house and the garage. Investigators worked through the night to try and determine what sparked the blaze.

Autopsies are planned for Monday to determine cause of death.
