House fire kills three children, blamed on propane floor heater and nearby combustibles. Additionally, two smoke detectors were found in the home, one without a battery and one too badly burnt for investigators to determine it would have gone off during the fire. Neither detector was in one of the girls' bedrooms. The children had been left home alone while the mother was at work and dad was out of town.
