Firefighters in Phoenix responded swiftly on Thursday morning to a mobile home fully engulfed in flames.

They successfully contained the blaze, preventing further damage to neighboring properties.
Remarkably, before emergency services reached the scene, a bystander intervened.

The child received immediate medical evaluation for smoke inhalation and was subsequently taken to a hospital in stable condition.
The fire displaced three residents, who are now receiving assistance from the Phoenix Fire Department's Community Assistance Program for their emergency needs. Fortunately, no firefighters sustained injuries. The cause of the devastating fire remains under active investigation.
