(KAIR)--An Atchison County fire causes destruction, but no injuries.
That happened at 179 254th Road, at the Atchison/Jackson County line.
Sheriff Jack Laurie says when Deputies arrived, following a report of the fire Saturday,
they found no blaze, but what remained of a mobile home and two sheds. A few vehicles had also incurred damage, along with a nearby camper.
Laurie says it's believed the fire had occurred either the day, or night, before his office was alerted.
The owner of the property is identified as Thomas McLaughlin, who was out of town when the fire occurred.
Laurie says the State Fire Marshall is assisting with the probe; and while arson is not suspected, the investigation is continuing.
