Incident Narrative

INYOKERN, Calif., Just before 8:00 am Monday, Kern County firefighters responded to a working structure fire reported by multiple individuals. Once firefighters arrived on scene, they confirmed a double-wide mobile home was well involved with fire and the residents had evacuated. An aggressive attack was made to extinguish the fire and complete victim searches. The home's structural integrity was significantly compromised from the fire, but firefighters were able to complete primary and secondary searches in the home and extinguish deep seated hot spots. The cause of the fire is suspected to be electrical in nature. There were no injuries reported on scene by civilians or firefighters.
