Centralia City Firemen say an electrical problem started a small fire underneath a mobile home in the 1300 block of South Poplar late Tuesday morning.
One of the occupants, Salvador Serrans, found the fire that was in the electric wiring. It was reached by taking off the underpinning and removing smoldering insulation and particle board. There was no damage inside.
Firemen used about four gallons of water from a water extinguisher.
The fire call came in at 10:53 Tuesday morning, with firemen on the scene until 11 am.
