Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said the homeowner was awakened by a neighbor, who alerted him that the mobile home was on fire. They broke a rear window to get to two of the children inside.

Both children, ages 8 and 9, suffered severe burns and were taken to St. Mary's Medical Center. They were then transferred to the burn unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.

A 7-year-old girl was found dead inside a bedroom, Barbera said.

Toy cars could be seen on the ground outside the charred remains of a mobile home that caught fire in West Palm Beach.

Firefighters extinguished the flames before they could spread to nearby homes.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A GoFundMe page has been created to help the family in their time of need.
