DIXFIELD – Fire destroyed a Severy Hill Road mobile home early Sunday morning.

East Dixfield fire Chief Randy Hall said the cause of the 12:30 a.m. blaze will likely never be known because the older mobile home was burned flat.

He said representatives from the Office of the State Fire Marshal inspected the scene early Sunday morning and decided that the fire was of undetermined origin.

The structure, owned by Eugene Bishop, who lives at a house on the same property, is generally rented. Hall said the mobile home was vacant at the time of the fire.

Hall valued the mobile home at $5,000. He believes the structure was not insured.

Responding to the blaze were 16 firefighters and five pieces of firefighting equipment from the East Dixfield Fire Department, the Jay Fire Department and the Dixfield Fire Department.

The scene was cleared at 2:10 a.m.
