It's unclear what caused the explosion, which started the blaze, that quickly spread to the mobile home next door and damaged both beyond repair.

One person was injured when a mobile home exploded in Frankfort's Gateway community Saturday, WGN reports. 

Neighbors reported that the fire sparked in the back of one home in the Gateway Mobile Home Community Saturday night, then quickly spread to a neighboring home. 

"It started with an explosion in the garage, and that triggered it all," neighbor Rich Anderson told WGN.
