Just past 6 a.m., emergency crews responded to a house fire on Crescent Moon Bend in Grays Hill after a neighbor called 911. Initial reports were that two people may still be inside.
Firefighters arrived on scene and found a single-wide mobile home heavily engulfed in flames with both occupants outside; one occupant having escaped through a window.
Firefighters were able to bring the fire quickly under control but it took over 30 minutes to fully extinguish.
The two adult occupants were transported to the hospital with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries.
