The mobile home sustained significant damage, with portions of the roof and floor that collapsed. Officials said they would have to bring in plywood to make it safe to go in and recover the victims’ bodies.

Investigators will determine how and where the fire started.

"What's important to remember here is that smoke detectors save lives," said Harris County Fire Marshal's Office Capt. James Singleton. "And I don't know if there were smoke detectors in the structure yet, but they give early notification of fire and give you those minutes you need to get out."
