Bomb-arson investigators were at the scene Monday of a fire at a mobile home park in Santee that killed a father Monday.
The fire was reported at around 2:30 a.m. at the Mission Del Magnolia Mobile Home Park on Woodside Avenue. A son who lived in the home called 911 after getting woken up by his father screaming his name, Santee Fire Battalion Chief Kyle Moyneur said. He was unable to reach his father before firefighters arrived.
“Yeah, it was some challenge for us. Just really difficult making access and getting inside,” said Chief Moyneur. “It was essentially fully involved by the time we got on scene.”
Once firefighters were able to get inside, they found the man’s body severely burned. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The fire burned for at least an hour before firefighters were able to extinguish it. Chief Moyneur also said there were no audible alarms in the home and said this serves as a reminder to the public to check that their fire alarms are working.
The son was not injured in the fire, investigators said.
Detectives from the Sheriff's Bomb/Arson Unit were called to the scene to investigate the origin and cause of the fire.
Detectives said it appears the fire started at the back of the home and while the cause is under investigation, it does not appear suspicious.
