RESERVE — Two brothers — an infant and a toddler — have been found dead in the smoldering ruins of a Louisiana apartment building that caught fire.

Fire officials in Reserve, about 40 miles west of New Orleans, say the building was engulfed in flames by the time they arrived Saturday afternoon.

The Times-Picayune reports that 18-month-old Tramonte Campbell and 3-month-old Ke'miy Campbell were found in the rubble of the building's first floor after the fire was put out.

Relatives say the boys' mother, 21-year-old Keshia Sanders, was able to rescue her 3-year-old son but the smoke was too thick for her to reach her other two boys. She was treated for possible smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
