Tuesday morning fire destroys mobile home in Homer

An early Tuesday morning fire destroyed a mobile home on Kent Street, just across the street from the Homer Golf Course on East End Road, Homer.

The fire occurred outside of the Homer Volunteer Fire Department’s response area, according to Fire Chief Bob Painter.

Kachemak Emergency Services is responsible for the area and requested back-up from the Homer Fire Department, Painter said.

“They requested mutual aid, a tanker and personnel,” he said. “We responded with a tanker, a chief vehicle and seven personnel.”

The fire department responded to the fire just after 3:30 a.m. The mobile home was completely engulfed in flames, Painter said, 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,”  Painter said.

Homer Fire Department personnel left the scene just before 7 a.m., Painter said.

No injuries were reported.

The cause has not yet been determined.
