(KAIR)--An active morning for Jackson County fire crews, called to battle two early morning blazes.

The first report sent Jackson County crews rushing to the scene around 5:00, with fire departments from Hoyt, Mayetta, and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation responding to 13314 134th Road.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says it was there that a trailer house was found fully engulfed in flames.

Morse says the residence was occupied at the time the fire was reported but the residents were able to escape safely.

The second fire was reported around 6:30, with fire departments from Hoyt and Mayetta responding to 104 Highland, in Hoyt.

Morse says the rear of the two story wooden house was found to be engulfed in flames when crews arrived.

The residents of the home were able to escape, but one suffered an injury after jumping from the upstairs when the fire broke out. However, Morse says that occupant refused medical treatment on the scene.

No injuries are reported.

The cause of the fires remains under investigation.
