Mobile Home Fire
Polk County House Fire Kills One
On Sunday, Polk County Fire Officials and residents were dismayed by a sudden and violent fire in a mobile home that took the life of one man. This fire, the fifth fatal house fire that has occurred in Polk County since the start of the year, was initially spotted by Breezy Calvillo, a neighbor of the mobile home that burnt to the ground, as she was walking back from eating a late snack. In a report that has since become part of the official record, Calvillo says that at around midnight she saw the flames flashing through the windows of her neighbor’s mobile home. After parking her car at her own home on Windsor Lane, Calvillo contacted the firefighters in Polk County, gathered some friends together, and went to try and combat what was quickly becoming an out-of-control fire.
