Fire of undetermined origin destroyed a single-wide mobile home Wednesday afternoon and displaced a family of five south of Livingston, according to Merced County Fire Department reports.
Battalion Chief Armando Rios said the American Red Cross was called to assist a husband and wife and their three children who lost all their belongings in the 2:40 p.m. fire at 13662 Atwater Jordan Road.
Rios said the woman came home and saw smoke coming from the dwelling. By the time county firefighting units arrived on the scene, the mobile home, valued at $50,000, was ablaze and $20,000 worth of contents also were lost. An adjacent home also was threatened by the fire.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Three county firefighting units and a water tender from Atwater, Livingston and Delhi stations responded.
