Fire did major damage to a mobile home in Four Seasons Mobile Home Park late Wednesday afternoon.
No one was injured. The fire call came just before 5:30pm. The fire was extinguished within 15 minutes of arrival. The mobile home is located on the southwest corner of Row 3 and Jaycee Avenue, just east of the Jaycee Avenue overpass.
Two men lived in the unit, Antonio Marquez Perez and Pablo Duran Maya, and one woman, Ana Mill. The unit is owned by the owner of Maria's Taco House.
There were two cats inside the mobile home. Both cats have been recovered and are doing well.
