RIVERTON, WYOMING - Three children are dead in an early morning mobile home fire just outside Riverton. Fremont County Coroner Ed McAuslan says the children were 1, 2 and 3 years old. Their names were not immediately released.

The fire was reported at 6:12 a.m. Thursday. When emergency responders arrived, the home was already engulfed in flames. With help from neighbors, there were able to pull one of the children who died out. The other two couldn't be found until the fire had been put out.

One adult woman was also flown to burn center in another state. Her condition was not available. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Police say at least two families lived in the home, but they were still trying to determine how many were inside and their relationship.
