Taylorville Fire Department dealt with a mobile home fire on Tuesday morning. At approximately 1130 AM on Tuesday, Taylorville firefighters were called to the 900 block of Taylorville Blvd for a mobile home fire. Upon arriving on scene, firefighters were met with heavy smoke and fire from an abandoned trailer. 

Firefighters attacked the fire from the exterior and subsequently entered the structure to extinguish remaining hotspots and perform overhaul. The fire was contained without any exposure to nearby mobile homes. 

The cause of the fire was ruled accidental as it was inadvertently ignited by a construction crew working to remove the trailer. Firefighters were on the scene for a little over an hour. No injuries were reported. TFD was assisted with mutual aid by Edinburg FPD.
