An early morning fire on Nov. 29 destroyed a mobile home on Kent Street, just across the street from the Homer Golf Course on East End Road.
According to Homer Fire Chief Bob Painter, the fire occurred outside of the Homer Volunteer Fire Department’s (HVFD) response area.
Kachemak Emergency Services is responsible for the area and requested back-up from HVFD, says Painter.
“They requested mutual aid, a tanker and personnel. We responded with a tanker, a chief vehicle and seven personnel,” said Painter.
HVFD responded to the fire just after 3:30 am on Nov. 29. The mobile home was completely engulfed in flames, says Painter, but all occupants were safely evacuated.
“Basically, the entire structure was on fire. When we got there, we heard there was an all-clear, which means that nobody was in the structure,” said Painter.
Painter says HVFD personnel left the scene just before 7 a.m.
There were no reported injuries in the fire. The cause has not yet been released.
