VIDEO: A fatal fire in a mobile home park early Monday morning leaves a 13-year-old boy without his mother. The cause of the Brandon Township fire which broke out just after 7 a.m. is still not known, but investigators do not think it was suspicious.
“It was an unfortunate, awful, awful thing that happened,” said a neighbor Ralanda Dugan. “My mother said she heard an explosion in the living room, it sounded like a loud bang or pop,” said neighbor Robert Elder. The teen who lived there and his two friends got out, but his 46-year-old mother was trapped inside. “It was chaotic. There were people running around, screaming trying to figure out if everybody was out,” Elder said. When they realized the mother was still inside โ neighbors rushed in to try and save her before firefighters arrived.
