Fire decimated a trailer at Oak Meadows Mobile Home Park at 405 W. 7th St. in Cortez late Wednesday, seriously injuring the occupant, according to property manager Tim Wood.<\/p>\n

According to Cortez dispatch, police received a call at 11:41 p.m. By the time they arrived, the trailer home was fully engulfed in flames. The resident, who Wood said was life-flighted to Denver, suffered burns across his body and went into a coma, which Wood said he awoke from Thursday.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire is under investigation by Cortez police detectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just nothing left,\u201d Wood said. \u201cThe house is a total loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wood added that three other mobile homes sustained damage from the fire but remain standing.<\/p>\n
