SHEPHERD, Mont. (AP) - One person died in a fire that destroyed a mobile home in south-central Montana.
Yellowstone County Coroner Cliff Mahoney tells The Billings Gazette the victim hadn’t been identified by late Monday morning.
Shepherd Volunteer Fire Chief Phil Ehlers says no other injuries were reported as a result of the fire which was first reported at 4:30 a.m. Monday north of the town of Shepherd.
Ehlers says explosions were heard during the fire, but they could have been caused by propane tanks in or near the residence.
The fire was largely extinguished by 8:30 a.m. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
