The Ceres Fire Department says units responded to the Lazy Wheels Mobile Home Park at E. Whitmore Avenue and Highway 99 a little after 11:30 p.m. for reports of a mobile home fire.
During overhaul, however, is when firefighters say they found a person inside the shed. The person was pronounced dead, authorities say.
City of Ceres calls for action from state
Tuesday afternoon, Ceres city leaders gathered by the shed to share their frustrations with what they're calling negligence from the state.
City Manager Doug Dunford noted those living in the 25 mobile homes inside Lazy Wheels park have been living without running water or electricity.
Ceres Mayor Javier Lopez says the issues were brought to his attention in 2021.
"The State of California basically told our office that we're hands off, that we couldn't touch it, we couldn't do anything about it," Mayor Lopez said.
City Councilor Rosalinda Vierra said HCD visited the park just 15 days before the fire.
Dunford said the residents of Lazy Wheels Mobile Home Park "deserve better."
Ceres city leaders told CBS Sacramento that the state told the county to help clean up the mobile home park on Monday before the fire. We reached out to the county for confirmation but have not heard back. We also reached out to HCD but have not heard back.
