Extra firefighters responded to the scene in preparation for Friday's dangerous temperatures. Officials said dead hydrants at the mobile home village delayed extinguishing efforts.
At least one family lost everything when four mobile homes were scorched by a large fire in north Harris County on Friday morning.SkyEye video from around 6:45 a.m. shows intense flames at Royal Coach Mobile Home Village on West Greens Road at Greens Crossing Boulevard, just west of Greenspoint Mall.When firefighters arrived, they found two mobile homes engulfed by flames. They tried to get to work quickly, but had trouble establishing a water supply.
"All the hydrants in this trailer park were dead, so we had to get the water from Greens Road, which took a little longer than normal to get water set up," Deputy Chief James Cone said.In total, four homes were damaged or destroyed. The back wall of one of the homes was completely destroyed.By 7:30 a.m., the fire was out but the heat was just kicking in.
"Well the air pack alone weighs 70 pounds. You're probably looking at another 70 or 80 pounds on the gear, so you're looking at over 100 pounds that they're hauling around just to fight the fire alone," Cone said. "And you have to pull all of these heavy hoses and all of that."The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating what sparked the flames.
