“The house was on fire,” Urial Vizuet, a neighbor, told Channel 2 Action News.
The fire burned early in the morning on Settingdown Road, killing the woman and her pets.
Unfortunately, despite a 911 call, the Forsyth County Fire Department was not able to get inside before it was too late.
“It is sad that all of this happened,” Vizuet said.
At the scene, Washington could see that the fire burned hot, and the home was badly burned, with melted siding and a gutted structure. The doors of the home were twisted and charred.
The cause of the fire is still unknown and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Crime Lab is working to determine exactly how she died, a common practice with fire-related deaths.
Shivers told Washington that mobile home fires are particularly dangerous.
