A mobile home was destroyed by fire early Friday morning in Soddy Daisy.

A Soddy Daisy resident woke to the smell of smoke and his bed on fire. At 5:20 a.m., a 911 call was made reporting the mobile home fire at 1901 Wilkes Ave.

 

The Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department responded and arrived on the scene reporting a fully involved mobile home fire.

Once firefighters could confirm everyone was out of the home, firefighters quickly conducted a defensive attack to extinguish the fire.

 

According to Dallas Bay Fire officials, the homeowner reported he awoke to his bed on fire. He was able to throw his blankets out the window but could not extinguish the fire on his mattress. The homeowners were able to escape without injury.
