Eight people are homeless after a fire Monday afternoon knocked down their uninsured mobile home on Kimball Lane, leaving them without almost all of their belongings. “Everything’s done,” said Deborah Ashby, who owned the home at 61 Kimball Lane with her husband, Larry Ashby. “It’s flat. There’s nothing left for us to salvage. Nothing.” The couple lived at the mobile home with an addition with their son and daughter-in-law and that couple’s two boys, aged 2 and 3; another son, who is 13 years old; and Larry Ashby’s brother, who had been in the process of moving out. The home down a dirt road was the site of Larry Ashby’s business, Ashby’s Towing, which also was damaged in the fire. Deborah Ashby said no one was home at the time the fire started, around 12:30 p.m. Monday. Her father, who lives down the road, heard a “pop” and went up on a four-wheeler to check out what was happening.
