KEEGO HARBOR, MICHIGAN: At 12:25 am West Bloomfield Firefighter/Paramedics and Police Officers from Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake and Orchard Lake all responded to a reported mobile home that was on fire with a resident trapped inside.
Upon arrival of fire department units, the mobile was almost completely 0n fire with a large amount of fire coming through the front door.
The fire was also spreading to a neighboring mobile home.
Firefighters quickly attempted to enter the residence but found the rear door blocked by furniture.
The fire was extinguished at 12:44 am and the victim along with two dogs were located inside of the residence. Fire and police crews cleared the scene at 4:00 am. The fire remains under investigation at this time.
The fire department would like to remind everyone the make sure that they have working smoke alarms in their homes. Smoke alarms should be located in each bedroom, outside of each sleeping area and on every level of your home.
We would also like to remind everyone that you should know at least two ways out of every room.
Be sure that windows and doors are not blocked and that they are operational. In the event of a fire, every second counts. Early detection and clear egress paths allow you to exit a building in the event of a fire.
