ELMIRA---An Elmira house was torn down Saturday, weeks after fire ripped through the house killing a married couple trapped inside.

     Our media partner the Star Gazette reports that the building owner does not plan to rebuild the house on Caldwell Avenue.  Investigators are waiting on lab results to learn more about the cause. Authorities say they believe the blaze broke up in a first floor hallway.

     Four other adults and three children were able to escape the fire on July 31.
