The Alaska State Troopers in Fairbanks say an investigation into a fatal Monday fire has been opened where a two-year-old child was found deceased.

The University Fire Department in Fairbanks responded to a report of a residential fire at Goldrush Estates at 4:15 am on Monday morning. When multiple units responded, they found a trailer fully ablaze. 

Two persons, an adult male and female had successfully exited the building into -36-degree weather outside. But, it was reported that a two-year-old child was still inside the structure.

A Deputy Fire Marshal responded to investigate the origin and cause of the fire in the continuing investigation.
