Three people were killed and a firefighter injured in a Tuesday morning mobile home fire in West Chester Twp.

Three people were trapped by the fire. They were removed from the mobile home, but life-saving efforts were not successful, a township official said. Their identities were not immediately released.

A police officer reported seeing smoke in the Princeton Crossing Mobile Home Park in the early morning hours just after midnight. The victims were taken to local hospitals before they were pronounced dead.
