A fire of unknown origin destroyed a renovated mobile home on Riverwood Drive on Sunday night.

“The fire call came in just after the halftime of the Super Bowl,” Bill Laird, district chief with the Bastrop Fire Department, said of the call at about 7:30 p.m.

Laird was one of the first on the scene.

“The sheriff’s department got there first, then Henry Perry and me,” Laird said, referring to Bastrop fire chief Henry Perry. “Henry gave a sizing up of the fire over the radio, then I pulled up. The front of the home was fully involved. We came around to the back because we wanted to make sure a car didn’t catch fire. It was a trailer home that had additions to it with another room and a fire place built outside.”

Laird said there were no injuries, adding the homeowner was not home at the time.

“We saved one roof, but the inside of the home was totally destroyed,” Laird said. He said two roofs, including one from the additional area, collapsed on the fire debris of the home and made it challenging for firefighters on mop-up operations.

He said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

“We have no idea of the cause at this point,” Laird said. “The owner was pretty shook up after he arrived, he said he thought he had turned off a space heater, but wasn’t sure.”

Recent rains contributed to keeping the fire from spreading, Laird added.

He said firefighters from Bluebonnet Volunteer Fire Department and the Federal Correctional Institution teamed with Bastrop to put out the blaze.
