One person was killed Monday evening after a fire broke out at a mobile home park in Cobb County, officials said.
Crews responded at around 8 p.m. to the Arbor Mill Mobile Home Park on Barrett Parkway, according to Cobb fire spokesman Nicolas Danz. They worked to extinguish the fire that destroyed one home in the park.
Danz said firefighters also worked to prevent exposure to nearby residents, some of whom were seen placing their hands over their faces to shield themselves from the smoke.

During a search of the home, firefighters found the remains of one person, whose name was not released. On Wednesday afternoon, Danz said the county medical examiner had not provided the victim’s identity.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
