A fire erupted Wednesday morning inside a Prattville mobile home, killing a 48-year-old man and causing a teenage boy to be airlifted to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, authorities said.

A call of a structure fire in the 300 block of Summerhill Road in Prattville was reported to Autauga County 911 around 9:07 a.m. Wednesday, the Prattville Fire Department said.

One battalion, a ladder company, two engine companies and two rescue companies were dispatched to the fire and arrived on scene about four minutes after the call came in to Autauga 911, the department said.

The unites reported a mobile home with heavy fire and smoke visible.

Prattville firefighters encountered high heat and fire conditions inside the unit but were able to locate and rescue a 17-year-old boy and a 48-year-old man from the home.

Both victims received advanced life support care at the scene and were taken to the Prattville Baptist Emergency Department about five minutes after they were removed from the home.

The 48-year-old man died of his injuries at the hospital, the department said.

The boy was flown via helicopter to UAB Hospital for treatment.

“We humbly ask for your thoughts and prayers for the victims and their family during this difficult time,” the department said in a statement.

The cause of the fire remained under investigation Wednesday by the state Fire Marshal’s Office.
