Two workers rescued after getting trapped in mobile home collapse: SRFD

(KRON) — The Santa Rosa Fire Department said two injured workers were rescued after being trapped underneath a collapsed mobile home on Thursday.

SRFD said fire crews were dispatched at 1:52 p.m. to the Santa Rosa Village mobile home park on Larkspur Place to investigate the incident.

“Reports from the scene indicated that a modular home, which was being placed in position on a vacant lot in the park had slipped from its jacks and collapsed, pinning two workers beneath it,” said SRFD in a news release.

Santa Rosa Fire said crews were quickly able to remove both victims from under the home and begin life-saving measures.

SRFD said one worker received moderate injuries, while the other suffered critical injuries. Both victims were taken to a nearby hospital where their current conditions are not yet known.

Cal/OSHA (The Division of Occupational Safety and Health), and California Department of Housing and Community Development are probing the incident.
