Tallahassee firefighters extinguish blaze at vacant mobile home on Appleyard Drive

A vacant mobile home went up in flames early Oct. 20 on Appleyard Drive, drawing a response from Tallahassee firefighters before dawn.

At approximately 4:43 a.m., the Tallahassee Fire Department was dispatched to a reported residential structure fire on Appleyard Drive. Firefighters arrived to find a vacant mobile home fully involved in fire.

Crews quickly deployed hose lines and used a tanker for water supply because there was no nearby hydrant. The fire was knocked down quickly, preventing further spread.

Primary and secondary searches confirmed no occupants or pets were inside the structure, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is undetermined.

Responding units included E1, E4, E8, T4, TA1, FM1, and BC1. The Tallahassee Police Department and Leon County EMS assisted at the scene.
