Valley Regional Fire Authority firefighters quickly put out a fire that destroyed a residence in the Auburn Mobile Home Park in the 2300 block of A Street Southeast just before noon Tuesday.

Two of the three occupants, a mother and her 3-year-old son, were home at the time of the fire. The mother spotted the fire and they safely evacuated, the VRFA said.

The home did have a working smoke alarm.

When fire crews arrived the fire had spread to nearby trees. Firefighters were able to quickly knock down the fire, preventing it from spreading to structures located close to the residence where the fire originated, the VRFA said.

The family of three will be staying with nearby relatives. There were no reported injuries to civilians or firefighters.

The VRFA was assisted by South King Fire & Rescue, Puget Sound Fire Authority and King County Medic One.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
