An Orange County mother and son are in the hospital after a car fire spread to their mobile home and destroyed it.
Orange County Fire Rescue said firefighters responded to a car fire in the 1800 block of East Orlando Road around 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
“The 911 caller indicated that there were fireworks inside of that vehicle and that they were shooting off during that vehicle fire,” said OCFR Public Information Officer Ashley Gipson.
Gipson said the flames quickly spread to the nearby mobile home, engulfing it by time firefighters arrived on the scene.
Gipson said the mother, father, and son made it out of the house, but the mother was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. The son was rushed to Arnold Palmer Hospital with significant injuries.”
