OLIVE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - Three Ottawa County fire departments were sent to put out a fire in a mobile home in Ottawa County Saturday night.
Ottawa County Sheriff's dispatchers said the mobile home was fully involved and that Port Sheldon, Olive, and Grand Haven township firefighters responded to the scene.
The fire started just before 9 p.m. in the 9000 block of 4 Winds Lane West in Olive Township.
A woman who lives across the street from the mobile home that was on fire said she smelled and saw smoke, and called 911. She had friends from out of town coming to visit, and when they got to her house, saw the mobile home on fire.
The woman's friend, a Marine veteran, ran into the house, where he found a 43-year-old man breathing hard. He was able to pull the man about three quarters of the way out of the burning home, but the smoke was so heavy, he had to run to get himself to safety.
