OGDEN — A one-story mobile home caught fire Friday near 1000 block of Wall Avenue, where four people and three pets were affected.
Fire crews from Ogden and Weber fire departments responded to a call around 4:30 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters report they found the home with smoke and heavy flames that were spreading to a neighboring home.
According to press release sent by the Ogden Utah Fire Department, all four occupants of the home had evacuated before the firefighters arrived. Fire department members searched the home, and reported that one dog and one cat died in the fire. One dog was recovered with no injuries.
