From Times Wire Reports
Flames swept through a mobile home in Humphrey, killing five boys and the mother of two of them as neighbors tried in vain to help.
Investigators did not know how the blaze began. A neighbor said he heard two explosions.
Flames had already engulfed the mobile home when firefighters arrived, and little of it was left beyond structural supports surrounded by corrugated-metal skirts. Furnishings were burned beyond recognition.
