The fire caused significant damage to the mobile home where it originated but didn’t damage any other structures.
“Because of building construction they do tend to burn easier,” East District Fire Chief Tom Kaake said. “In this case, there’s a lot of distance between neighbouring buildings.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
