TAMPA, Fla. — A mobile home fire in Tampa spread to four nearby homes Tuesday afternoon before firefighters brought it under control.
Tampa Fire Rescue (TFR) said crews responded just after 12:35 p.m. to the 10100 block of North Florida Avenue and found a mobile home fully engulfed in flames. A second alarm was called due to heavy smoke, the intensity of the fire, and dry, windy weather.
Officials said the fire was contained within 50 minutes. No residents were found inside the affected homes, and one dog was rescued. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported.
The Tampa Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
HOA said yes, but the CDD says no: Sun City Center homeowners ordered to remove backyard fences
For years, homeowners in one Hillsborough County neighborhood had fences around their backyards — fences that were approved by their homeowners' association. But now, another organization with government powers says some of those fences are blocking drainage easements and have to go, at the owners' expense.
