MOBILE HOME FIRE UNDER INVESTIGATION
Vacant Residence Had No Electricity According to Fire Marshal

By Jon Mayhew

DENVER -- Firefighters from Denver and East Lincoln responded to a reported mobile home fire in the 6600 block of Denver Heights Trail late Monday night just before midnight.

When firefighters arrived, they discovered smoke and flames coming from the front steps of the dwelling. After quickly putting the fire out, firefighters discovered there wasn't electricity to the home and the structure was unoccupied.

The Lincoln County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the two-alarm blaze as suspicious.

The landlord told investigators the home was vacant for some time.

The fire did minimal damage to the steps and some of the underpenning. Neighbors called 911 to report the fire.
