WILLCOZ, AZ - A 3-year-old boy has been killed in a house fire in southeast Arizona.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office says the boy's mother was able to get her 1- and 3-year-old sons out of the home when it caught fire late Saturday afternoon.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas says deputies found the woman outside and screaming that 3-year-old Edward Hielo was still inside.
The east side of the single-wide mobile home was on fire, so they kicked out a window on the west side but could not get inside.
Firefighters put out the flames and found Edward dead.
The mother told deputies the fire started near a clothes dryer.
