Sunday fire crews responded to a mobile home fire that killed a five-year-old and seriously injured a one-year-old, said the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).
Crews responded to the motorhome fire off Gasman Road in Port Angeles.
The CCSO says firefighters were able to quickly contain the fire.
A five-year-old was killed and a one-year-old child who was in the motorhome was transported to Olympic Medical Center (OMC) and then airlifted to Harborview Medical Center (HMC).
The one-year-old’s condition is currently unknown.
The CCSO said the children were left unattended for an unknown period of time.
Preliminary findings show the fire may have been started by a small refrigerator, but the cause of the fire is under investigation.
