A fire caused extensive damage to a mobile home in Basalt Saturday night but firefighters were able to prevent the spread to adjacent structures, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority was called to 210 Homestead Dr. at 6:39 p.m. The first responders were on the scene within nine minutes, according to Richard Cornelius, a division chief with the fire department. The call initially came in as a fire in the Aspen Basalt Mobile Home Park at 1900 Willits Ln., but the address was corrected while firefighters were en route.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirefighting efforts were aggressive and crews were able to have knockdown of the fire at 8:41 p.m., preventing further spread to adjacent structures,\u201d Cornelius wrote in a news statement. \u201cMultiple apparatus and 20 personnel from RFFRA were on the scene working for several hours to extinguish the fire and perform extensive overhaul operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire was accidental, the fire department said. There was no loss of life or injuries. The Red Cross was called to assist in finding alternative housing for the occupants.<\/p>\n

The mobile home was extensively damaged by fire, smoke and water, according to the fire department. \u201cA majority of the contents were either destroyed or damaged,\u201d the statement said. The monetary loss hasn\u2019t been determined yet.<\/p>\n

Mobile homes are tightly packed together in a small mobile home park on the westerly side of Homestead Drive, but no damage was reported to other structures.<\/p>\n

The fire department was assisted by the Basalt Police Department, Eagle County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Red Cross.<\/p>\n
