One person was found dead and multiple others are injured after a mobile home became engulfed in flames early Sunday, according to Bexar County officials.
The fire happened around 9:18 a.m. in the 17900 block of Shepherd Road, near Fowler Road in southwest Bexar County.
When firefighters arrived, they found the mobile home completely engulfed by flames. They also learned someone was trapped inside, according to the Bexar County Assistant Public Information Officer Tom Peine.
Due to the intensity of the flames, fire crews were initially unable to get inside the mobile home. Fire crews then began to extinguish the fire and during the response, one firefighter suffered a minor burn.
Once the fire was under control, crews made their way inside the mobile home and found one person deceased, according to Peine. Their identity hasn’t been released.
Two other people who live at the home were taken to an area hospital with severe burns, officials said.
Bexar County sheriff’s deputies aided in the fire response. Two deputies were taken to an area hospital for smoke inhalation and one deputy was treated for severe burns, officials said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. We’ll bring more updates to this story as they become available.
