The first arriving firefighters found a well-involved mobile home with heavy smoke and fire showing on all sides. Firefighters made an aggressive attack on the fire, due to reports of possible victims inside the mobile home.

An adult male and adult female sustained mild to moderate burns; they were both treated and transported to an area hospital by Long Beach Fire Paramedics in stable condition. The other two family members were able to escape with no injuries. Firefighters were able to keep the damage to the involved unit.
The mobile home sustained heavy damage, witched displaced the family of five who lived there. The Red Cross was requested and responded to assist the family. The cause of the fire was a Christmas tree too close to an ignition source.
