2 dead, 1 in serious condition in Jordan mobile home fire
Two women are dead and a man is in serious condition after a mobile home fire in Jordan, Minnesota early Wednesday morning.
According to the Jordan Police Department, officials arrived at the Valley Green Mobile Home Park around 3:30 a.m. to find the home engulfed in flames. A man had evacuated, but there were still two women in the home.
Fire crews entered the home and were able to get the two women out. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, officials say.
The second woman and the man were both taken to the hospital. The woman later died, and the man is in serious condition, authorities say.
Neighbors told WCCO they tried their best to help, but weren't able to get inside.
"It kind of felt like a dream. I didn't think it was real until I stepped outside and I got real close to it," neighbor Marvin Aguirre said. "I could feel the flames. You could just feel the heat. It was like, this is actually happening. It's real. I was half asleep and half awake. I was in shock from it. I was ready to come help."
According to the Jordan Fire Department, three dogs also died in the fire.
"It's just kind of shocking, you know? You grow all these good and great connections with people and lose them in a blink of a second," Aguirre said. "You've got to appreciate the people you have."
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the State Fire Marshal.
Jordan is located about 50 miles southwest of the Twin Cities.
