1 dead, 2 hurt in mobile home fire in Arkansas, sheriff's office says

A 24-year-old woman died in an early-morning fire Friday in a mobile home north of Charleston, according to the Franklin County sheriff’s office.

The owners of the mobile home on Arkansas 217, a 40-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, escaped from the burning building, sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff Wood said.

Sheriff Anthony Boen said the 40-year-old was transported to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock and the 30-year-old woman was taken to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith.

The identities of the people involved were not released Friday.
