LUCERNE, Calif. – A structure fire early Sunday morning destroyed a home on the lakeshore in Lucerne.
The fire in the 6600 block of Highway 20 near Ogden Road was initially dispatched minutes before 4 a.m. Sunday, according to radio reports.
Northshore Fire responded to the scene to find an older double-wide mobile home on fire, according to Battalion Chief Dave Emmel, who served as incident command.
Emmel said the residence was located on the lakeside, with the closest hydrant across the highway. As a result, Highway 20 was temporarily closed to allow hose lay across the road.
He said they found no one in the structure at the time of the fire.
Two nearby structures were reported to be threatened by the blaze, based on radio reports.
“The house on the east side received a little bit of heat damage,” Emmel said.
Scene reports stated that it took less than an hour to contain the fire, with two hours of overhaul and mop up.
He said the house was a total loss.
As for a conclusion on the cause, “It’s under investigation still,” Emmel said Monday.
