Conversation: Fatal Apartment Fire

Mojave, CA – Firefighters from Mojave, Rosamond and California City
responded to a structure fire at 12:08 this morning that claimed one
life and caused extensive damage to a Mojave apartment building.  When
Engine 14 from the Mojave station arrived at the scene they found fire
and smoke coming from a second floor apartment of the eight unit
building.  Local residents were attempting to extinguish the fire and
informed firefighters that the occupant was possibly trapped inside.
Two firefighters made entry into the apartment quickly extinguishing the
fire and initiated a search for the occupant. The female who lived alone
in the apartment was not able to escape the flames and was found in the
kitchen by firefighters. 

The fire was confined to one second floor apartment of an eight unit
building; however, two adjoining units received smoke damage.  Five
residents of the two adjoining apartments damaged by the fire were
displaced.  Three will be staying with nearby family members and two
will be assisted by the American Red Cross. 

Kern County Fire Department Arson Investigators are on scene to
determine the cause of the fire.  Kern County Sheriff Deputies and
Coroner’s Investigators are assisting.
