PENN HILLS, Pa. (AP) - Authorities say a woman is dead in a house fire in the Pittsburgh suburb of Penn Hills.

The fire was reported about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday.

Police have yet to release the dead woman's name, but authorities believe she lived alone with two dogs that have yet to be found.

The cause of the fire was not immediately determined.

Authorities say the woman's body was found just inside the front entrance. It appears the fire started in the living room.
