Littleton, CO Mobile Home Fire 4/28/13

[Guest]

Last night Littleton Firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire at 8201 South Santa Fe Drive.  A man soldering under a mobile home sparked a fast moving fire that he attempted to control with a garden hose.  After he was forced out the fire department was called.  First due Engine 16 found smoke showing from the crawl space and pulled a 1.75" line.  Heavy fire conditions were seen under the trailer and coming up through the floor.  E11 made a long 5" supply lay and advanced a backup line side.  As crews opened up fire was found in the walls and attic space.  The flames self vented around an air cooling unit on the roof prompting a withdraw.  Companies continued to fight the fire from outside the doors and from the gable ends.  The man working under the home was transported emergent for burns and smoke inhalation.
