A fire ripped through a Chula Vista mobile home injuring a man and threatening other homes, Friday night.
The fire was reported around 11:25 p.m., on 121 Orange Avenue in Chula Vista in a mobile home park.
Joshua Cardenas lives across the house when he said he heard an explosion, rushed outside and saw the fire spread toward the back of the home.
"I saw embers flying and I thought, the trees are going to catch on fire, we need to leave," explained Cardenas.
Witnesses tell NBC 7 a family of four was inside the home when the fire started.
