Firefighter injured in blaze that destroyed two mobile homes in Penhold
UPDATE [Tuesday]
Investigator say an open flame heater likely sparked a fire that completely destroyed two mobile homes Monday in Penhold.
Penhold Fire Chief Jim Pendergast says the fire started in a unit built in 1975 and spread to a neighbouring unit built in 1974.
“There was no natural gas service to the originating unit, there were several portable open flame heaters in that unit of which at least one was in operation at the time of the origin, and was most likely the cause of the fire,” he explains.
