UNDATED – A fire Friday afternoon destroyed a Branch County mobile home.

The Coldwater Fire Department was sent out just before 4:30 PM to 178 Narrows Road, near the Randall Lake boat launch for a fire. Coldwater Fire Chief David Schmaltz says there was fire coming from both sides of the trailer and heavy smoke was showing. The Quincy Fire Department also arrived at the scene and the two departments were able to extinguish the blaze in approximately 30 minutes.

There were people at the mobile home when the fire broke out. They were able to get out and there were no injuries. The wood frame trailer is being called a total loss. Damage estimates to the trailer and its contents is estimated at $50,000.

A cause for the fire is still being investigated. Helping at the scene were the Branch County Sheriff's Department, the Sheriff's Department Victim Services Unit and the Michigan State Police.
