Two older adults died after being rescued from a house fire in Monte Sereno early Wednesday morning, according to the Santa Clara County Fire Department. Firefighters responded around 2 a.m. to a reported structure fire at a home in the 17000 block of Rose Court. When crews arrived, they found a two-story home with flames coming through the roof.

A second alarm was called, bringing the response to 10 fire apparatus and approximately 40 fire personnel. Firefighters experienced problems getting into the home, and there were no working smoke alarms, officials said. Once inside, crews located and rescued two older adults. Both patients were taken by ambulance to Valley Medical Center, where they later died from their injuries, fire officials said.
