Jefferson Fire reports a gutted single-wide mobile home at the Rolling Meadows Mobile Home Park north of Mt. Vernon was destroyed in a Friday night fire.

The mobile home was fully engulfed upon the department’s arrival.  Mt. Vernon City, Kell, Wayne City, and Bluford were all called for mutual aid assistance at the scene, while Wodlawn covered the Jefferson Fire Station in the event of another fire.

The cause of the fire is undetermined.  A deputy State Fire Marshall will investigate further.

The call came in at 9:18 Friday night.   Firemen were on the scene for several hours.
