LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Friday afternoon fire destroyed a Lakeport home.
The fire, reported just after 3 p.m., occurred at 1100 Park Way at Hill Road East.
Lakeport Fire Chief Ken Wells said the fire in the doublewide mobile home began in rear of the structure and went through it.
“It was a total loss,” he said.
No humans were injured but a family dog perished in the blaze, Wells said.
Two engines and a ladder truck from Lakeport and an engine from Kelseyville responded, along with about 18 firefighters, according to Wells.
He said it took about 30 to 45 minutes to contain the fire, but mop up was still going on well after 7 p.m.
The cause of the fire is not known, Wells said.
On the Northshore, there was a happier ending for a man whose cabover camper caught fire later in the day.
At around 4:30 p.m. a fire was reported in the camper in space No. 14 at Len-Lee Trailer Resort, located at 3427 East Highway 20 in Nice.
Northshore Fire Battalion Chief Steve Hart said a small propane explosion ignited the fire.
The owner, who is deaf and cannot speak, got distracted and walked outside, and when he returned the fire ignited and burned a small 1-foot by 1-foot area of insulation behind the stove, Hart said.
Firefighters didn't have to use any water but were able to pull out the burned material by hand, which Hart said pleased the owner, who was afraid of losing all of his possessions in case a fire hose was brought in.
Hart estimated total damage to be between $100 to $150.
