Fire Destroys Local Couples Home

KWTX's Alex Cano reported that a couple narrowly escaped a fire that overtook their home on Wednesday morning.

The flames began around 7:00 a.m., and their mobile home was located in Belton at 2000 Circle Oaks Loop.

The couple was in the home at the time of the fire, and was woken up by the smell of smoke. The couple made it out of the home, unscathed without any injuries.

Belton and Salado fire crews on the scene said the couple had been residing in the residence for about six months. Belton's fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
