Fire destroys mobile home
Gilroy – A fire seriously damaged a mobile home in Wagon Wheel Mobile Village, at 8282 Murray Ave.
Four engines from Gilroy Fire Department, along with a rescue vehicle, responded to a call from the resident of the home after a fire broke out in the wall about 12:30pm Sunday. The fire was likely caused by a short circuit in the wall, according to Division Chief Ed Bozzo.
The flames spread from the wall up to the ceiling, damaging the kitchen and slightly damaging the living area of the home. Estimated cost of the damage is unknown, according to the GFD.
No one was injured in the fire, and no other mobile homes caught fire, but one person in the affected mobile home was displaced because it is no longer habitable.
