A fire destroyed a mobile home in Friendship this morning. Cuba and Friendship firefighters were alerted at 11:08 a.m. to a "working structure fire" at 6547 County Road 20, Lot 32, the Valley View trailer park.
When Friendship police arrived on scene, according to radio reports, he confirmed smoke and flames. He was also able to determine that the occupants were not inside. Moments later, the officer reported several small explosions, which he attributed to potentially ammunition inside the home.
Additional assistance to fight the flames was requested from Belmont, Clarksville and Angelica. As firefighters battled the blaze, the occupants retuned home. Allegany County Fire Investigators responded to the scene and the cause remains under review.
