A woman was rescued from a burning trailer home in Redwood City Sunday night thanks to alert neighbors and brave first responders, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
At about 10:20 p.m., three deputies responded to a report of an explosion inside a trailer home in thee 3400 block of East Bayshore Rd. When they arrived, flames were roaring out of several blown out trailer windows, the sheriff’s office said.
