Mobile Home Goes Up In Flames In Thornton

THORNTON, Colo. (CBS4) - Firefighters in Thornton moved quickly to extinguish a mobile home fire on Sunday.

The fire broke out about 1:30 p.m. on West 100th Avenue.

The back end of the mobile home suffered the most damage. Nobody was    home when the fire broke out. Neighbors say they saw children near where the fire started.

"I don't know if they were playing with matches or playing with fireworks. I heard little things and then all of a sudden I see a spark and the bush was there and the father figure was out there with the hose," witness Cassondra Sacke said.

The blaze was so hot it also melted a neighboring unit.

No word yet on what started the fire.
