One person has died and another was taken to the hospital after a fire broke out late Wednesday night at a home in a mobile home park in Pleasanton.
According to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, firefighters were called to the 3200 block of Vineyard Avenue shortly before midnight.
When crews arrived, firefighters found a mobile home in flames along with heavy smoke. The crew also heard reports that one person was trapped.
While firefighters were working to extinguish the fire, a flashover occurred, forcing the crew to retreat as the house became fully involved. The fire brigade eventually managed to re-enter the house and extinguish the flames.
