TALLAHASSEE, FL — One person was removed from a burning mobile home and taken from the scene on Tuesday afternoon, March 18th, after the Tallahassee Fire Department responded to a residential structure fire on W. W. Kelley Road.
Firefighters were dispatched at 12:52 p.m. and arrived to find heavy fire coming from a double-wide mobile home. Crews immediately deployed hose lines and initiated fire suppression operations to control the fire.
The release says one victim was located inside the residence, removed by firefighters, and taken from the scene by Leon County EMS.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the State Fire Marshal's Office.
We have a crew at the scene and deputies on the scene told us that they couldn't get inside the residence due to a lot of amo and propane tanks which was preventing TFD from fully putting the fire out.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office is asking drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes to allow first responders to perform their duties safely as the road remains closed.
Leon County Sheriff's Office, Leon County EMS, Talquin Electric Cooperative, the Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department, and the State Fire Marshal's Office assisted on scene.
