Fargo fire destroys mobile home

A fire this morning (Saturday) in Fargo destroyed a mobile home.  The Fargo Fire Department was called out shortly before 11:30 a.m. to the blaze on April Lane.

While en route to the scene authorities were told everyone was out of the house except for one dog.  Crews attempted to find the animal but the fire had already damaged the floor and was quickly spreading to the back of the home.

The fire was declared knocked down about an hour later.  Damage was pegged at around $50,000 dollars.  The cause remains under investigation.  The Red Cross is assisting the resident who lived there with temporary housing.
