A Wamac mobile home was heavily damaged by fire Monday night.

Centralia Fire Protection District Chief Ross Boshera says there had been people in and out of the home owned by Jessica Smith at 150 South Jefferson, but no one was reportedly living there.

The fire is believed to have started on an outside porch and moved into the center portion of the home.  While firefighters got a quick knockdown, there was heavy damage to the center and rear sections with heavy smoke damage in the front.

A neighbor first spotted the fire at 5:42 Monday night.  Firemen were on the scene for about an hour and 45 minutes.
