Two people and a dog escaped a fire Friday evening that destroyed a singlewide mobile home on LaSalle Road near Langley Drive in Gaston.
The homeowners were in a small tent structure about 20 feet from the home when they reported hearing a "pop" from a semi-detached utility room behind their home. The homeowner reported seeing flames coming from the utility room and dialed 9-1-1. He reported re-entering the home to rescue his dog and then retreated as flames spread into the home.
Units from the Gaston Rural Fire District, Forest Grove Fire & Rescue, and Washington County Fire District 2 responded. No injuries were reported. A Chaplain from Gaston Fire and the American Red Cross are providing emergency aid for the family.
The mobile home and belongings are a total loss. The cause of the fire was determined to be of electrical origin.
