Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies say a mobile home fire blamed on a kerosene heater Thursday in the village of Brilliant killed three young siblings. Deputies say the mother was trying to remove a burning kerosene heater when she dropped it, causing fuel to spill and the fire to spread. Killed were a 4-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl who were twins and their 3-year-old sister. Names have yet to be released.
