Colorado Springs Fire Department responds to fire at pair of mobile homes
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Firefighters worked to extinguish a fire at two separate mobile homes in Colorado Springs on Thursday morning.
According to the Colorado Springs Fire Department, CSFD, crews responded to reports of a fire at 1339 Arch Street at approximately 7 a.m.
CSFD says one mobile home, located in the Eston Grove Mobile Home Park, was "fully involved in fire," and flames spread to a second mobile home.
"I heard banging and he screamed, 'Fire, fire, fire.' And then I peeked out my door, and I looked across from me, and I saw two trailers on fire," said Logan Stark, a nearby resident.
Several residents of the trailer park reported hearing explosions, which the fire department says were caused by several propane tanks that were inside the homes.
Firefighters say they were able to knock the fire down quickly. One person was injured in the fire, but was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, according to CSFD. Crews are still working to identify what sparked the fire.
