CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) - Authorities say a father and his young son were killed in a camper fire in southern Colorado.

Firefighters were called to the blaze in a mobile home park on the outskirts of Canon City early Wednesday and found a camper and a sport utility vehicle engulfed in flames. It took them about 45 minutes to extinguish the fire.

Killed were 30-year-old Pedro Pablo Ek-Rivero and 4-year-old Erik Ek-Rivero.



Investigators have not said what caused the fire, which has been ruled an accident.
