The fire was so intense that it burned through one of the fire department's hoses.

Firefighters contained the flames to one mobile home, Trojacek said.

The woman's identity and the cause of the fire weren't immediately known. The fire remains under investigation.

CBS News Texas will provide additional details when they become available.
