KINGMAN – More than two dozen firefighters battled windy conditions Monday when fire engulfed a Kingman mobile home. Kingman firefighters responded at 5:25 p.m. to the fire in the area of N. Fourth Street and Windsor Avenue.
Assistant Fire Chief Keith Eaton said first arriving fire personnel found a fully involved, vacant mobile home. He said crews mounted an aggressive attack because wind caused the fire to spread to other structures on the property.
“KFD Command struck a second alarm activating the Mohave County Mutual Aid pact. Units from Golden Valley, Pinion Pines and NACFD #1 responded to the scene,” Eaton said. “As the fire fight continued fears of other structures in the immediate area were in danger of getting fire pushed into them by the winds, a third alarm was struck to cover the Kingman stations.”
Overhaul operations continued until 7:30 p.m. and investigators worked the fire of suspicious origin until midnight. Anyone with information about the blaze is urged to contact the fire Departments (753-2891).
“More than 25 firefighters and Chief Officers from throughout the Mohave County Mutual Aid area fought the fire and were able to confine it to the original parcel,” Eaton said. “Numerous residences contiguous to the property were saved.”
No injuries were reported.
