A Thursday afternoon fire displaced the residents of a mobile home on Aurora’s East Side, according to fire officials.
At 4:18 p.m. Thursday, firefighters responded to a structure fire on the 1100 block of Rural Street, according to a news release from Aurora Fire Department spokesman Capt. Jim Rhodes.
Multiple neighbors called in the fire, as did one of the occupants, who was still inside the mobile home when the fire started, according to the news release.
Everyone inside the mobile home got out before firefighters arrived. When firefighters got there, they found heavy fire showing from the single-family mobile home, according to the fire department.
Paramedics treated and released one person for smoke inhalation at the scene, Rhodes said. About 45 minutes after arrival, 24 firefighters had the fire completely extinguished, according to the fire department.
The structure was deemed uninhabitable, displacing four adults and one child, according to the fire department. The Red Cross was called to the scene to provide victim assistance.
An adjacent residence sustained minor fire damage but can still be lived in, according to the fire department.
Fire officials estimated the total dollar loss at $10,000 and said they are still investigating the cause of the fire.
