HELENA - A 53-year-old woman and her two grandsons were killed Tuesday when a fire spread through their Telfair County home. <br> <br> Barbara Everson, 14-year-old Stephen Stewart and 12-year-old Larry Stewart mostly likely died of smoke inhalation, according to state Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner John Oxendine. <br> <br> Investigators found several portable heaters plugged into one extension cord in the front bedroom, where the fire started. They also found no smoke detectors in the home. <br> <br> Oxendine says the fire began shortly before 2:30 a.m. and probably started when the socket overloaded or when the heaters sparked something flammable.
