One person is dead after a fire ripped through a mobile home Thursday morning in south Mount Vernon.
The Mount Vernon Fire Department was called to a fully involved house fire in the 2500 block of Old Highway 99 South at about 6:45 a.m., Chief Bryan Brice said.
The fire was at the Mountain View Mobile Park.
Crews responded to a report that all residents of the house were outside, but later learned a person was still inside, Brice said.
The fire was under control at about 7:25 a.m., at which point crews discovered the deceased person.
Assistant fire chief Bryan Harris said a total of 10 people were inside the mobile home when the fire broke out. There were eight inside the mobile home, and two inside a shop/garage, he said. Nine escaped the fire.
Two were treated for injuries with one transported to Skagit Valley Hospital, he said.
