Two people died in a mobile home fire Monday morning on the 5000 block of Northwest Dr. in north Bellingham.
Whatcom County Fire District 7 responded to the scene shortly before 7 a.m. Monday. Firefighters were still working on the fire as of 10:20 a.m., District 7 Fire Chief Larry Hoffman said.
“We’ll be there for quite some time,” Hoffman said.
One double-wide mobile home unit is completely destroyed. One neighboring unit sustained some fire damage, and the other neighboring unit was damaged by the heat.
