THUNDER BAY - A McKellar Island fire burned a mobile home to the ground Monday evening. No injuries were reported in the blaze.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue responded to reports of heavy black smoke from an East end resident around 6:30 p.m..
A truck initially on scene at the Island Drive property where the mobile home was located attacked the fire, but crews ran out of water before being able to extinguish it.
The home had burned to the ground by the time a larger tanker arrived from the Mapleward fire hall.
TBFR platoon chief Philip Dzuba said two people were present, but not in the home, at the time. Two cats escaped the home and also survived unharmed, he reported.
Two Thunder Bay police cruisers also responded to the incident.
There was not yet any indication as to the cause of the fire, Dzuba said.
