Firefighters Prevent Conflagration - Near Miss

Fire crews responded to the report of a structure fire at El Rancho Mobile Home Park at 1830 E. Yosemite. Upon arrival, they found a mobile home fully-involved with fire and three other mobile homes also on fire. All occupants made it out of the buildings safely.

Firefighters extinguished the exposure fires first and then made an aggressive attack on the main Mobile Home Fire. They were successful in limiting the bulk of the fire damage to one Mobile Home.

Firefighters remained on scene for approximately two hours performing salvage, overhaul, and fire investigation. The fire started from a pot of stew left unattended on the stove. There were no injuries to Firefighters. One occupant was displaced from his home. The American Red Cross responded to assist.
