SPRINGFIELD -- A space heater may be to blame for a house fire that killed four people last week. Two teens and two adults died in the fire. One person was able to make it out alive.

Firefighters said they found one of the victims near the front door. They said that he wasn't able to open the dead bolt to escape.

Investigators also found that there were no working smoke detectors in the home.
