PAWNEE ROCK — An abandoned mobile home in Pawnee Rock was destroyed by fire Monday, Sheriff Brian Bellendir said. The fire at 128 Rock St. was reported around 11:15 a.m.
Great Bend Fire Department was called to assist the Pawnee Rock Fire Department, GBFD Chief Mike Napolitano said when they arrived the house was fully engulfed in flames.
“The fire is suspicious in nature and the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office was called,” Bellendir said. The single-wide trailer was not connected to gas or electricity, which are common causes of unintentional fires. It was a total loss, but there were no injuries.
The investigation continues.
