Two People Die In Mobile Home Fire

Two Jordan residents are dead and another is hospitalized in serious condition after a devastating fire at a mobile home Wednesday morning.  Jordan Fire Chief Greg Pekarna said the first call for help came in around 3:30 a.m. at the Valley Green Mobile Homes Park. The flames started in the front bedroom and fire crews rescued two women from the home within ten minutes.  "We had the first victim out within the first seven minutes of arrival and at the time rescue efforts were initiated on that individual," shared Chief Pekarna. "And about two minutes later we got the second individual out." One man had evacuated the home before crews arrived and is now in serious condition at the hospital, according to a press release. One woman was declared dead at the scene and a second female victim died after being rushed to the hospital. The roof and ceiling of the mobile home had melted away, but flames were extinguished by 5:30 a.m. Three dogs died in the fire and the mobile home is considered a complete loss.   The fire did not spread to other mobile homes. The Minnesota Fire Marshal arrived at the scene Wednesday morning to determine the cause of the flames.
