PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities continue to investigate a fire at a Phoenix home where the bodies of three people were later found.

Phoenix Fire Department officials say the house hadn't had power for quite some time, didn't have smoke detectors and the residents may have been using candles for light.

The bodies of a 70-year-old woman, a 47-year-old man and another man between 50 and 60 years old were found inside the residence after Sunday morning's fire.

The Arizona Republic reports a 41-year-old woman was pulled from one of the windows and treated for burns and smoke inhalation at the Maricopa County Medical Center.

None of their names have been released yet.

Authorities say the 41-year-old woman and the 47-year-old man were visiting Phoenix and were guests of the house's residents.
