NICE, Calif. – A Wednesday afternoon fire destroyed a mobile home in Nice.
The fire in the abandoned mobile home at 6915 Floyd Way was first reported just after 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Northshore Fire Chief Jay Beristianos said his agency was dispatched to a possible structure fire. When they arrived they found the structure fully involved.
The fire was controlled in about a half-hour of firefighters’ arrival, based on reports from the scene.
He said the structure – a 1970s vintage doublewide mobile home – was a total loss.
“It’s been abandoned for approximately 20 years,” he said.
However, it appeared squatters had been living in it. Beristianos said there were some chairs and a bed that looked to have been drug into the mobile home.
Beristianos said the fire appeared suspicious. At the scene, firefighters spotted a possible suspect and gave the name to sheriff’s deputies.
