EL PASO, Texas (AP) - Authorities continue investigating the cause of a deadly West Texas mobile home fire that killed three children and injured two other individuals.

Police in El Paso say the fire started Friday night at a mobile home with five people inside.

Emergency responders found a 3-year-old boy and a 69-year-old man at the scene and transported them to a local hospital, where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.



Police say firefighters later found the bodies of three children - all under 10 years of age - inside the mobile home.

The names of the victims have not been released by authorities.

Neighbors say the family had only been living in the mobile home for a few months.
