Fire destroyed a mobile home on Sturgis Road in Marion Thursday morning. Firemen were still on the scene shortly after 10 a.m., putting out hotspots in the trailer which is right behind Wild Hair Saloon.
A neighbor, Allen Bishop, said he was walking by the mobile home when he heard a small explosion and flames shooting from the window. He tried the door, but it was already hot.
Bishop said the renter, Tabitha Sisco, had just moved in a couple of weeks ago. Sisco arrived and was consoled by friends and neighbors. Sisco has two children who live with her in the mobile home, neighbors said. No one was home when the fire started.
More details will be available in next week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press.
