The victims include four-year-old twins and a three-year-old.

Three toddlers have been killed in a mobile home fire in rural Brilliant, Ohio.

The victims include four-year-old twins and a three-year-old, WTOV reported Thursday afternoon. 

Their mother suffered burns trying to rescue them.

The youngest alerted the mother, who was in the bathroom, about the electric heater on fire.

As she tried to remove another heater, it fell over and caused the fire to spread, officials told reporters.

When the mother attempted to get the children out through a window, she ended up falling, and could not get back inside.
