Fire destroys Ellsworth mobile home

ELLSWORTH — Fire destroyed the trailer home of Mike Emery on the Old Bangor Road in Ellsworth Friday afternoon.

Sgt. John DeLeo of the Ellsworth Police Department noticed the smoke coming from the mobile home while he was patroling in the area. Initially, DeLeo and Officer Leigh Guildford thought someone might be inside the home, according to Fire Chief Everett Farnsworth.

“They tried to get inside to check it out, but the fire had already spread throughout the trailer,” Farnsworth said.

The mobile home was completely engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on the scene. Farnsworth said they were able to knock down the fire quickly but the flames had already destroyed most of the interior. He said the home was a total loss.

Farnsworth said the fire started near a wood stove which was going at the time. He said, however, the cause of the fire had not yet been determined and he expected that investigators would be back on the scene on Saturday.

No one was injured in the fire.
