A third son escaped the fire unharmed. The mother is in fair condition.
Lighter may have led to deadly fire
HOUSTON
The Harris County fire marshal say it appears one of the boys was playing with a lighter and a piece of paper when they accidentally set their couch on fire. The Monday afternoon fire killed nine-year-old Tristan Huff and his six-year-old brother, Timothy.
Family members say the boys were autistic. Their mother, Mary Ann King, suffered burns to her arms trying to save her sons.
