FRISCO, Colo. (AP) - Firefighters say a fatal blaze at a mobile home in Summit County was accidental.

The Summit Daily News reports Red, White and Blue Fire District Deputy Chief Jay Nelson says the probable cause of the fire Tuesday was a shop light that fell into a pile of papers and ignited them.

Firefighters say heavy smoke and fire kept crews from entering the mobile home to look for people as they fought the flames. The body of the home's resident, Russell Kent Sigler, was found Wednesday.
