A fire that broke out in a mobile home in Jordan early Wednesday killed two women and seriously injured a man, authorities said.

Jordan police officers and firefighters were called to Valley Green Manufactured Home Community, north of U.S. 169 and the city’s downtown, about 3:30 a.m. and found the home engulfed in flames. A man who had evacuated told first responders that two women were still inside, Jordan Police Chief Brett Empey said.

Firefighters went inside the home and removed the women. Life-saving measures were performed on them, but one died at the scene.

The other woman and the man were taken to the hospital, where the woman was later pronounced dead. The man was hospitalized in serious condition, Empey said.

The identities of the victims were not immediately released.

The State Fire Marshal’s office responded to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire.
