A woman was injured and two cats died in a mobile home blaze south of Tucson Monday.

Crews found flames coming from the end of the home near the bedrooms. They had the fire under control within 10 minutes.

Multiple people were evacuated safely, but one person was hospitalized due to possible smoke inhalation. There was smoke damage throughout the home.
