A man escaped injury on the early morning of Jan. 22 when his mobile home in Hi-Vue Estates Mobile Home Park in Sartell became engulfed in flames.
Firefighters were called to the scene at Lot 338 Sunset Ave. in the park, and the interior of the home was filled with fire. The firefighters then broke a window, helping the man inside to escape. The man had awakened after hearing his smoke alarm blaring.
The man, after his narrow escape, was covered in soot. He was taken to the hospital just to get checked, though according to police, his condition seemed to be just fine.
The fire call was at 8 a.m., and the flames were squelched by 9 a.m.
The interior of the home and its contents were a total loss. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
