Through the assistance of eye witnesses and law enforcement sources, News 8 has tentatively identified the six people killed in a fire at a mobile home shortly on the shore of Lake Granbury shortly after a birthday celebration early Sunday morning.

Calvin Reineck, a graduate of Richard Melbourne Academy, and Vivian Rodriguez and Alexis Schooley, both current students at the Fort Worth alternative school, were among the victims identified.

Savannah Marrero, a student at Western Hills, and Tim Moran and Nick Evans were also killed in the fire that injured three others.

The blaze broke out at about 5:30 a.m. following a late-night party in the double-wide trailer in the 4500 block of Wildwood Circle.

"This is the worst fire I've been on as far as fatalities," said Hood County Fire Marshal Brian Fine.
Three people escaped from the burning home. A neighbor called 911 after a woman ran to the door begging for help.

One of those able to escape, 18-year-old Cody Rubalcaba, said he was able to help some of his other friends out of the home, but the blaze became too strong. He was the last of the victims released from John Peter Smith Hospital.

Rubalcaba said authorities asked him to list out the 10 victims inside the mobile home and then learned of his friends' deaths.

"They said, 'Well, out of those 10, six of them are dead,'" he said. "And when they told me that, I started bawling in tears. I was like, 'Dang, I tried to save as many as I could and I couldn't even get the other six out."

Rubalcaba said he and friends had gone to bed after celebrating a friend's birthday for two days at the mobile home. He then awoke early Monday morning coughing and spotted flames coming from the master bedroom.

He broke a window, cutting his arm, and crawled out to safety. He said he then tried to go back in to save his friends.

"I was like, 'Follow my voice, there is a window I busted open, go underneath the pool table and I will be right here waiting for you,'" he said.

He was able to help get two friends out safely, but said he couldn't help the others.

"I called for their names and everything and no one would respond back to me," Rubalcaba said. "... All you could hear were flames burning."

Residents of the Port Ridglea East subdivision said they tried to save the others but the fire engulfing the 1985 model home was too intense.

"It's just a shock to see a house totally engulfed," said neighborhood resident Paul Woods. "Especially when the people are still inside. There's nothing you can do... literally nothing you can do. The flames are pouring out and no way you can get anywhere close to the house."

Shirley Culberhouse, who lives about seven houses down the street from the home that burned, told The Associated Press that it "was a group of boys who had moved in, and they were having a party."
Another neighbor, auto mechanic Michael Brennan, said the party woke him up.

"About 2:15 (a.m.), the noise woke me up," he said. "There was an argument going on. Then, there were cars pulling out, and I was sort of waiting for the sheriff to show up when the fire happened."

The house was occupied full time, Brennan said.

Nearly all the victims were in their teens or 20s.

Two of the injured, a male and a female, were airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, where they were treated for minor burns, cuts and smoke inhalation and later released. The third survivor, a female, was being cared for at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for minor injuries.

The daughter of the homeowner was also involved in a serious car wreck just before the fire. She was driving a friend home.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but it is not believed to be suspicious.

This is the region's second mobile home fire tragedy of the weekend. A fire in Fannin County early Sunday claimed the lives of two small children.

The Tarrant County medical examiner is working to make positive identification of all the victims in this case.
