Strong winds fueled a fire at a North Highlands mobile home, prompting a quick response from Sacramento Metro Fire. No injuries were reported, and a dog was rescued.
SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — A wind-driven fire damaged a mobile home in North Highlands Monday morning.
Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews responded Monday morning to a residential structure fire along the 5000 block of Jackson St.
Firefighters arrived to find flames extending from the carport into the interior of the home as strong winds fueled the fire’s rapid spread, according to Sacramento Metro Fire.
Crews deployed hose lines to contain the fire while doing a search of the home to make sure no one was inside. No injuries were reported, and firefighters rescued one dog from the residence.
The fire remains under investigation.
Metro Fire said fires can double in size every minute and that severe wind conditions can cause flames to spread even faster. Officials urged people to make sure smoke alarms are working and to get out immediately if a fire starts without going back inside.
