LAKEWOOD, Wash. 鈥� A family of seven is homeless after flames ravaged their mobile home.

Now fire investigators are working to figure out the cause.

The fire broke out at about 4:30 Saturday morning, sending that family fleeing for their lives. It happened near Lakewood Avenue Southwest & Pacific Street in Lakewood.

The family, including three children, managed to escape. But, sadly, one of their three dogs died.

We talked off-camera briefly with one of the women who lived there. She did not want to say very much — just confirming that one of their dogs died.

Both she and a man who lived here still smelled of smoke.

And you can see very clearly how devastating this fire was to their home and their lives.

Very little remains of the mobile home that was where a family of seven lived.

鈥淚t鈥檚 sad,鈥� said Daisy Villegas, a neighbor. 鈥淚t鈥檚 hard. I hope and pray, you know, they鈥檙e well.鈥�

Villegas says she slept through the massive fire but she feels for her neighbors.

鈥淚 think that us, as a community, I don鈥檛 know what the neighbors think,鈥� she said. 鈥淏ut it was sad.鈥�

The photographs show what West Pierce Fire and Rescue faced when they arrived Saturday morning at the Lakeview Mobile Home Park. A mass of flames was coming out of the windows of a trailer.

Firefighters already knew they faced a challenge because of where the home was located.

鈥淲hen finding a fire at a mobile home inside a mobile home park they can very easily spread,鈥� said Spokeswoman Emily Tencer.

She says 18 firefighters worked hard to limit the damage, as horrific as it was, to just one home.

鈥淥ur crews were able to respond very quickly,鈥� Tencer said, 鈥渁nd get that fire under control so that no other structures were burned.鈥�

Aware, she says, of the magnitude of the loss, especially when for a time the family thought the three dogs who lived here were lost, too.

鈥淲hen a family wakes up, it鈥檚 4:30 in the morning, their house is on fire, they鈥檙e losing everything that they own,鈥� said Tencer. 鈥淎nd being able to find those two dogs that they thought didn鈥檛 make it. I know that gave our firefighters a lot of relief and joy that they were at least able to do that for that family.鈥�

The preliminary investigation indicates the fire started in the living room near the front door. Work to determine the cause will begin in earnest this week.

Meanwhile, the Red Cross is offering the family temporary shelter.
