Osgood, In.— Fire destroyed a mobile home in Osgood Tuesday.
A report from the Osgood Volunteer Fire Department says firefighters responded to the 400 block of Fairground Road at 1:42 p.m. and found the vacant dwelling fully engulfed in flames. The fire was extinguished by 3 p.m.
Investigators believe the fire started in the kitchen and was accidental. The mobile home was declared a total loss.
