Lawrence firefighters work in the aftermath of a house fire at 2632 Rawhide Lane, Wednesday, March 30, 2016.

Investigators have identified the man killed in a house fire early Wednesday morning in southeast Lawrence.

Fernando Alvarez — who is also listed in Douglas County property records as the home’s owner — was killed in the fire, said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Eve Tolefree.

Police were called to the home at 2632 Rawhide Lane for a report of a domestic dispute at 12:14 a.m. Wednesday.

During the dispute a man “displayed a handgun and threatened” a woman and children, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Officers arrived on scene and made contact with the woman outside the home, McKinley said. She suffered minimal injuries but refused medical treatment.

Officers soon noticed a “flickering light” within the home and within a minute the house was on fire, McKinley said.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical was dispatched to the scene at 12:22 a.m. and attacked the flames from the outside, said Division Chief Eve Tolefree.

Once the flames were extinguished firefighters and police were able to make their way inside and confirm that one man, later identified as Alvarez, was dead inside.

Investigators determined that the fire was set intentionally and estimate damage to the home at $264,000, Tolefree said.

Thursday fire

Another man died Thursday afternoon in an unrelated house fire in East Lawrence.

At 2:49 p.m. emergency responders were dispatched to a home at 923 Pennsylvania St., where they found one man, partially inside the home. The man was pulled away from the fire, but was declared dead shortly afterward, Tolefree said. His name has not yet been released and the investigation is ongoing.
