A malfunctioning electric fan was the cause of a fire that heavily damaged a mobile home north of Lewes early today, the state Fire Marshal’s Office has determined.
Damage from the fire on Holly Court Road in the Whispering Pines mobile home community was estimated at $6,500, said Randall W. Lee, chief deputy state fire marshal.
The fire started in a rear bedroom of the home, which did not have any working smoke detectors.
No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.
Lee said the home is owned by Antonio Serradar of Lewes.
The Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Milton fire companies fought the blaze, which was heavily involved when they arrived after the alarm came in at 12:10 a.m.
