Firefighters rushed to a residential blaze Monday evening after flames tore through two mobile homes in Desert Hot Springs and spread into nearby vegetation, prompting a second alarm and a broad mutual-aid response.
The fire was reported around 6:40 p.m. on Palm Drive south of Park Lane, where multiple resources were sent to the scene, according to a CAL FIRE update. The initial report identified the incident as developing and did not provide a containment estimate.
Second Alarm Brings In Neighboring Fire Crews
A second alarm was requested to bring additional firefighting resources to the blaze. Palm Springs Fire and Cathedral City Fire assisted, while Southern California Edison was requested after power lines went down.
Officials said the fire involved two mobile homes and extended into surrounding vegetation, adding a brush-fire threat to what began as a residential structure fire. The early update did not say whether anyone was injured, displaced, or whether the homes were destroyed.
Damage Totals And Cause Remain Unclear
Fire officials said more updates would follow as the incident developed, but no cause, damage estimate, evacuation information, or final fire status had been released in the initial report. Residents should rely on official emergency updates while crews remain in the area.
