One person suffered burn injuries in a house fire Sunday in Oceano.
The fire was first reported at about 3:20 p.m. on May 5 at a mobile home in the 2500 block of Cienaga Street.
"We were sitting down to go have our, you know, our lunch and we heard this big explosion," neighbor Valerie Breon recalled. "And so my husband said to me, 'What was that?' I said, 'I don't know if we should be hearing sirens soon.' And here they come. There was like two, four, five, six fire engines, about three sheriffs and smoke was coming from everywhere."
According to the Five Cities Fire Authority, firefighters arrived at the scene to find a fire burning at the back of the structure. Fire officials say it appears the fire started underneath the mobile home with slight extension to the inside of the residence.
Two people were displaced as a result of the fire. One of the residents was treated for burns at a local hospital and released.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
