Family of 5 displaced after dangerous mobile home fire

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A South Florida family narrowly escaped a dangerous fire that consumed their mobile home.

It happened early Monday evening at the Miami Soar Mobile Home Park on Northwest 80th Street and Miami Court.

Most of the damage was in the back end of the mobile home.

Officials said no one was injured in the fire.

Kristel Hernandez, who lives at the home with her children, told Local 10 News she wasn’t home when it happened, but her three young daughters and their father were inside.

The family, newly arrived from Nicaragua, said they lost everything and now have nowhere to go.

The American Red Cross is helping the family find temporary shelter.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
