SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — On Thursday, January 27, 2022, at approximately 9:20 pm, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue responded to a reported structure fire at 4102 N Harley Pl.

The first arriving company transmitted that the mobile home was fully involved by fire and that the neighboring home was beginning to catch fire. Crews quickly extinguished the neighboring home and confirmed all occupants had exited both homes.

The main body of fire was extinguished within 20 minutes. Crews remained on scene for several hours to ensure the fire was completely extinguished.
There were no civilian injuries and one minor firefighter injury.
