The Centralia Fire Protection District was able to confine a fire at a mobile home in rural Centralia early Sunday night to a bedroom and outside wall.
The fire was at the Darla Conrad home at 6925 Selle Road in Clinton County. Fire Chief Ross Boshera reported flames and smoke showing from a bedroom upon arrival. An aggressive interior attack was made to the bedroom and outside wall of the mobile home limiting the damage to those two areas.
The cause of the fire appears to be electrical.
The fire call came in at 5:22 Sunday evening. Hoffman and Hoyleton Firemen provided mutual aid at the scene, while Irvington Fire provided station coverage at the Centralia Fire District Station in the event of another fire. Lifestar Ambulance and Clinton County Electric were also dispatched.
Firemen were on the scene for about two hours.
The Centralia Fire Protection District also handled a vehicle fire under a carport attached to a pole barn at the Perry Hixenbaugh residence at 137 North Morrison in Central City Sunday afternoon. While there was heavy damage to the engine compartment and interior of the car, the fire was extinguished before it caused any damage to the carport or pole barn.
The fire call came in at 2:06 Sunday afternoon, with firemen on the scene for about 45 minutes. Lifestar Ambulance and Central City Police were also called to the scene.
