Mobile home fires in Chaparral leave destruction in their wake
LAS CRUCES - As the ashes of a half dozen mobile home trailers sit behind red caution tape, onlooking neighbors can only shake their heads at the tragic fire that claimed the lives of several dogs and every earthy possession their fellow neighbors possessed.
At least six mobile homes were “a total loss in a fire in a mobile home park on Gala Way Lane in Chaparral Friday afternoon,” according to a news release from Doña Ana County.
“It was like seconds, that’s what it felt like to me, before I knew it, it was gone,” Kathy Johnson said about her trailer on Saturday. “I sat there and watched everything gone.”
