OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- An Ocala woman and her four children were killed when their home caught fire.

A State Fire Marshall says the single-wide mobile home was engulfed in fire, and the roof collapsed during Saturday morning's blaze. Marion County firefighters found five bodies, and the father wasn't home.

A neighbor said the ages of the children, all boys, ranged from a few months to 5 years.

Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire, but it does not appear suspicious.
