NICE, Calif. – A Monday afternoon fire destroyed a mobile home in Nice.
The fire was reported shortly after 2:40 p.m. in the 3200 block of Lakeview Drive near Buckingham Way, according to radio reports.
Greg Cornish, who lives in Nice on the hillside above where the fire occurred, said he saw flames shoot about 30 feet into the air from the structure.
Northshore Fire Protection District firefighters arriving on scene reported that they found the trailer three-quarters involved.
Lakeview Drive was reported to be closed temporarily while firefighters worked to put out the blaze.
Four Northshore Fire units and one unit from Lakeport Fire responded, with 14 firefighters on scene, according to Northshore Fire Chief Jay Beristianos.
The fire was controlled at approximately 3:07 p.m., with radio reports indicating firefighters would remain on the scene for two to three hours in order to mop up and investigate the cause.
Beristianos said the singlewide mobile home was a vacation home, and no one was there when the fire occurred.
He said the structure was totaled, adding it was too early to offer a full damage estimate because he and his crew hadn’t yet been inside to fully assess the structure and contents.
Beristianos said the cause of the fire currently is under investigation.
