Man, pets escape mobile home fire

MIAMI (WSVN) -- Fire investigators are trying to determine what caused a South Florida mobile home to go up in flames Friday morning.

The blaze broke out at about 7 a.m. at a mobile home on 79th Street and Northwest 11th Avenue. A man, his two daughters and two family pets live in the home. The homeowner and his two dogs escaped without injury. His two daughters were at school at the time.

One resident said he was having trouble with his cable TV when he noticed his neighbor's home was on fire. "There was a noise outside my house that's next door and I'm watching the TV and see there's some problems with the cable," he said, "and when I go outside, I see the flames and I called rescue."

The mobile home is completely gutted, but luckily, no one was injured.

The cause of the fire is unknown.
