WEST MONROE, La. (AP) - State Fire Marshall Butch Browning says

authorities found no working fire alarms or smoke detectors in a

mobile home where a fire claimed three lives over the weekend.

Browning said three unidentified men between the ages of 18-28

died in the West Monroe fire late Saturday night.

A neighbor saw smoke coming from a vent in the home and called

for emergency help. Four Ouachita Parish trucks responded to the

fire and arrived within four minutes.

Officials say the bodies have been sent to a crime lab in Little

Rock, Ark. for autopsies.
