Police believe Friday night fire in Milford is suspiciousMILFORD – A Friday night mobile home fire in Milford is being investigated as suspicious.
No one had been charged with a crime as of this morning.
Milford Fire Department Chief Todd Haines said his department received the call of a fire at 427 E. CR 1150N, Milford, lot 2, close to 9:30 p.m. Friday.
The mobile home park is owned by Doug Stump, who evicted the tenants of lot 2 on Thursday.
The fire started in the storage building next to the mobile home. It destroyed the shed and the mobile home, and caused serious damage to the mobile home next to it on lot 3. No injuries were reported.
There was no electricity to lot 2 as it had been disconnected Thursday, Haines said.
Haines said the shed and mobile home on lot 2 were probably a complete loss and lot 3 was undetermined.
Along with the Milford Fire Department, Plain Township and Turkey Creek Fire Territory fire departments provided tankers and Lutheran EMS was on standby. Assisting in the fire investigation are detectives from the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department and Warsaw-Wayne Fire Terrritory.
