A double-wide mobile home inside Parkhurst Estates caught fire Monday morning due to what appears to have been an overloaded electrical outlet, according to Oxford Fire Chief Jack LeRoy.
Oxford firefighters were dispatched to 426 Worthington Drive (inside the mobile home park) at 8:03 a.m. to extinguish a structure fire.
When they arrived, fire personnel found heavy black smoke and flames pouring out of the mobile home.
The blaze was officially declared under control at 8:22 a.m. LeRoy said no one was home at the time of the fire and no one was injured.
An estimated $23,000 worth of damage was sustained by the structure while contents loss amounted to an estimated $10,000, LeRoy said.
The Orion Fire Dept. provided mutual aid at the scene.
