COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Two families are left without a home after a fire breaks out Sunday near Colorado Springs.

It happened Sunday afternoon in a mobile home park a few miles south of Fort Carson's main gate off Pawnee Road and Highway 115.

Five fire departments responded to the fire which began in a single mobile home.

Dry conditions and high winds quickly blew the flames into a second home and before long, officials say the entire park was in danger.

To make matters worse, the fire hydrants had almost no water pressure.

The two mobile homes are completely destroyed and two others are heavily damaged.

A car also went up in the inferno.

No injuries are reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
