House fire diplaces pair; no injuries reported

CLOVIS — Fire destroyed a mobile home in Clovis on Tuesday evening, leaving two persons homeless but injuring no one.

The Clovis Fire Department received a call just after 7 p.m. Tuesday about the fire in the 500 block of Heaslet Street. When firefighters arrived, the home’s rear area was fully involved in flames, Fire Chief Mike Nolen said.

The home’s owner, Crystal Lewis, said an adult family member was in the home and noticed heat on kitchen floor, then saw smoke. The family member then tried to get to the rear area, but the heat was too intense. The family member then left the mobile home and called 911.

Nolen said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Lewis has set up a fundraiser page on Facebook to raise money for household items, especially for the kitchen, bath, and bedrooms.
