Weekend Fire Destroys Atchison Mobile Home

(KAIR)--A structure fire over the weekend at an Atchison trailer park rendered one mobile home a total loss.

Atchison Fire Chief Ted Graf says it was approximately 11:15 Saturday morning when firefighters were dispatched to 1501 North 7th Street, lot 14 which is located at Highview Trailer Park.

“Upon approaching the general area, heavy smoke was present with heavy smoke and flames showing,” Graf said. “They were told the structure was vacant at the time and currently undergoing an extensive remodel—basically the home was gutted.”

Graf said it was reported a small wood stove was being used for heat at the time of the remodel. It is believed the stove caused the fire.

“Fire crews remained on the scene for extinguishment and overhaul for about two hours,” Graf said. “The home is considered to be a total loss and no injuries were reported.”

Graf said no one was inside the home at the time of the fire.
