PLEASANTON — One person died and another was hospitalized when a fire broke out at a mobile home late Thursday into early Friday, fire officials said.
The blaze in the 3200 block of Vineyard Avenue did not spread to any of the other mobile homes in the area, and nobody else was injured.

Authorities did not identify the person who died immediately. Personnel from the Alameda County Coroner’s Office remained at the scene past 10 a.m.
Fire crews were called to the fire a minute before midnight, and arrived to find the mobile home fully engulfed in flames, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire spokesperson Rosa Ramos said in a statement.
Firefighters initially tried to get inside the mobile home to fight the fire, Ramos said. One person inside the residence already had gotten out when crews arrived, but the second person remained inside.
Ramos said a fire flashover — a near-simultaneous explosion of several combustible materials — happened shortly after crews arrived and forced them back outside. They fought the blaze from the outside of the mobile home and eventually brought it under control and extinguished it, she said.
After the fire was out, they found one person dead inside the home, Ramos said.
The other resident in the home went by ambulance to a hospital with undisclosed injuries.
Fire investigators have not determined where or how the fire began.
