According to Capt. Nick Maxwell, Operations Officer for the Long/Ludowici Volunteer Fire and Rescue Fire Department, five people have been displaced after their mobile home was destroyed by fire the morning of Dec. 5.

Maxwell said fire units arrived shortly after 6 a.m. and discovered the home located on the 200 block of Tovar Road was 80 percent engulfed in flames.   Maxwell said it took about 45 minutes to bring the fire under control.  Fire units from Tattnall and Liberty County also assisted with mutual aid.  According to Maxwell the fire may have started in one of the home’s bedroom.

How it started is currently under investigation.  No injuries were reported, however, three adults and two children have been affected by the fire. The Red Cross has been called in to provide assistance.
