Firefighters were called to a mobile home fire this morning after having put out a blaze at the home yesterday, a spokesman said.

The causes of the fires at the mobile home on Foxton Street are under investigation, said Capt. Steve Johnson, fire department spokesman.

This morning's fire, shortly before 3 a.m., was extinguished in about 20 minutes, Johnson said. The fire yesterday also was small and damaged a room and contents inside.

No one was hurt, Johnson said.

How much is there left to burn after the first fire was put out after about twenty minutes? This story really has little info and lacks meaning. Come on VP how about covering the real news?

I guess it must have been a double wide trailer... LOL
