A Friday night fire in Claremont has destroyed a local home, reports the Valley News.
According to the report, firefighters responded to the fire at approximately 5:40 PM. Upon arrival at the blaze at 73 McCusker Place, they found the home “well-involved” with the fire. The fire was quickly knocked down and reportedly under control by 5:54 PM.
However, the structure sustained “extensive fire damage” and smoke, heat damage to portions of the building not directly hit by the flames. The mobile home was deemed a total loss, but no injuries have been reported.
According to Capt. Chris Pixley, a Claremont fire investigator, the cause was “improperly disposed of smoking material.”
