Mobile home fire destroys vacant residence in Kern County
On Sunday August 29 2010 at about 355 PM Kern County Fire Department responded to a mobile home fire at the 18000 block of Smith Lane. Ten firefighters arrived to find a single wide mobile home fully involved with adjacent structures threatened. High voltage lines hindered efforts as they burned and fell to the ground. The fire was knocked down in 15 minutes after which extensive overhaul followed. No one was inside the home and no injuries occurred. The mobile home was a total loss and one adjacent structure was slightly damaged. The cause is under investigation. KCFD urges working smoke alarms to provide early warning and notes smoke is a leading cause of fire deaths.
