Fire officials responded to a mobile home fire in Seminole County that severely injured four people in an early morning Saturday incident. At around 6:12 a.m., the Seminole County Fire Department responded to a scene with the help of the Oviedo Fire Department and Sanford Fire. A mobile home completely engulfed in flames was reported on fire, with two people inside. After multiple burn patients were found, a defensive attack on the fire was initiated. One occupant led the other two out of the home and a fourth person escaped through a window.
There were no smoke alarms in the mobile home and the fire caused two trauma alerts with severe burns. One helicopter from the Orlando Health Air Care Team airlifted a critically injured burn patient to the Trauma Center in Orlando. Meanwhile, the second trauma alert was transported by ground and the third patient was an ALS-stable patient who received transport. There were no reported injuries for the 4th patient and all four patients were outside the house when SCFD arrived. The cause remains unknown and is currently under investigation by the state.
