An abandoned mobile home near Cameron was destroyed in a fire on Wednesday evening.
Cypress Pointe, Carthage and Whispering Pines fire departments were paged to the mobile home in the 300 block of Heron Road.
“Upon the arrival of Engine 221, they reported a working fire in a mobile home with approximately three-quarters of the structure involved, and an outside fire beginning to extend into the surrounding yard,” announced Cypress Pointe Fire and Rescue on its Facebook page. “Crews quickly deployed two attack lines. One line was utilized for exterior fire suppression and then turned on the structure fire, while a second crew forced entry through the front door, advanced an interior line, and successfully cut off the fire’s progression to the remaining portion of the structure.”
Moore County EMS arrived on scene; however, no injuries were reported.
“The property owner arrived on scene and advised that the residence was abandoned and without electrical service,” wrote Cypress Pointe Fire and Rescue.
Moore County Public Safety is conducting the fire investigation with the assistance of the Moore County Sheriff’s Office.
