A one-alarm fire destroyed a residence at a mobile home community in East Palo Alto this morning, a fire investigator said.
At about 10:10 a.m., firefighters responded to reports of fire and smoke at a home at Palo Mobile Estates, located at 1885 E. Bayshore Road, Menlo Park Fire Protection District fire investigator Jon Johnston said.
Two people inside the home were able to get out safely before firefighters arrived, Johnston said. One was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor burns. No one else was injured.
Fire crews managed to extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes, although the home was considered "a total loss," he said.
No other structures were damaged by the blaze. The cause remains under investigation.
