TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — Fire crews from multiple agencies battled a blaze that destroyed two mobile homes Sunday at Sun Valley Mobile Home Park in Tarpon Springs.
Authorities said crews arrived at 39248 US 19 N to find one mobile home fully involved, with flames spreading to a second nearby home. A second alarm was called to bring additional resources, and the fires were brought under control within 30 minutes.
One person was taken to Tampa General Hospital for burns, and another was treated at the scene and released. Both homes were deemed uninhabitable, and the Red Cross is assisting one resident.
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.
