A person was found dead inside a Golden Terrace West mobile home following a fire early this morning, officials say.
A man in his mid-40s lived in the trailer, but the victim was too badly burned to confirm identification, said Sabrina D’Agosta, department spokeswoman.
The Golden Fire Department fought the blaze after a neighbor saw smoke and called at 2:48 a.m., D’Agosta said. The flames were shooting out of the trailer and could be seen from at least a mile away, she said.
Firefighters extinguished the fire at 250 B St. and a crew entered the mobile home and found the victim, D’Agosta said.
Golden fire investigators and police are trying to determine the cause of the fire, she said.
Neighbors on both sides of the mobile home were evacuated but have since been allowed back into their homes, D’Agosta said.
