OCALA, Fla. -- A fully engulfed mobile home fire in the Ocala Estates area early Saturday morning left five people dead.

Marion County fire officials said they received a call shortly before 6:45 a.m. from a person driving by the scene at 11290 NW 20th St.

Within minutes, firefighters arrived at the scene and found the mobile home fully engulfed in flames with its roof collapsed.

Firefighters from eight crews fought the fire in a defensive mode and got it under control by about 7:20 a.m., officials said.

The state fire marshal continued to investigate the fire Saturday morning. Authorities did not immediately release the victims' identities.
