Fire Damages Mobile Home

County firefighters responded to a fire at the single wide mobile home of Tim Johnson Monday night on Hickory Street off the Cookeville Highway.
It apparently began as a grease fire as the residents were in the kitchen doing some cooking. They put out the small blaze with a fire extinguisher and thought the problem was solved. But later, after they had left home to go to town, the fire rekindled.
911 was notified and firefighters were dispatched to the scene.
Lieutenant Brad Mullinax of the county fire department said that the blaze was confined to the kitchen and living room but the rest of the home received extensive heat, smoke, and water damage.
No one was injured.
Members of the Cookeville Highway, Short Mountain Highway, Main Station, and Tanker Truck responded.
