TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Two children have died in a house fire that erupted in a south-central Idaho mobile home park.

The Times-News (http://bit.ly/1wWOMyO) reports that a 3-year-old girl escaped with minor injuries from the Twin Falls mobile home Monday evening. However, 4-year-old Kayden Green and 1-year-old Damion Green died. The three children were the only ones in the home.

Twin Falls city spokesman Joshua Palmer says the trailer was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

He added that firefighters removed the boys from the trailer and took them to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

Palmer says firefighters who arrived on the scene were sent home early because they were shaken up over what happened.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
