No injuries were reported in a fire that destroyed a mobile home Saturday night on south Fifth Street in Petersburg. The police department received the call about midnight Saturday, October 22. “Upon arrival we found the trailer fully engulfed in flames and also flames impinging on a neighboring residence and had also threatened that structure and set the outside of it on fire,” said Dave Berg, spokesman for the Petersburg Volunteer Fire Department. “The crews quickly deployed two speed lines to try and keep the fire contained and also to keep the heat down on the adjacent structure so that the fire wouldn’t transfer to other buildings that were close by.” Berg said the mobile home was completely burnt but firefighters extinguished the flames on the neighboring building.
