FORWARD TWP — Six fire departments responded to a mobile home fire on Bolten Lane on Thursday afternoon.

Evans City Volunteer Fire Department chief Matt Otto said no one was home at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries.

A fleet of firetrucks at the scene was needed to pump water to the house because there were no hydrants or water sources near the property.

Otto said a neighbor reported the fire at around 3 p.m., and his fire department arrived a few minutes later to see the fire spreading from the living room of the home. He said the cause of the fire is not known, but the departments were able to put it out in about 10 minutes.
