Fire at Fullerton mobile home park leaves 1 dead

A fire at a residence inside a mobile home park in Fullerton on Tuesday morning killed one individual, authorities confirmed.

According to the Fullerton Fire Department, the blaze was reported at about 4:54 a.m. at the Country Place Mobile Home Park on Orangethorpe Avenue. Cell phone video from a resident showed massive flames towering over a home with the roof already possibly collapsed.

"There was flames coming out of the windows," one resident told CBS LA. "[My family and I] were able to evacuate."

A person was killed in the fire, officials at the scene confirmed to CBS LA. He's believed to be a man in his 20s.

Karina Perez says that her mother lives next door to where the fire broke out, and that she woke up to her neighbor screaming. 

"The owner was the one yelling. I think he was cooking something, and I don't know how the fire started, but he was the one yelling," Perez said. 

She said that the man's neighbor was the one who died.

At least two other people were treated for injuries.

As of Tuesday morning, it's not yet clear how the fire started, and at least two homes were destroyed and two others were damaged.

No additional details were immediately made available.
