ENFIELD — Four residents were displaced as the result of an early-morning fire in Enfield on Saturday, according to the town’s fire department.
The fire, which began sometime before 4:15 a.m., left a mobile home at 1387 Route 4A uninhabitable due to fire damage to one room, as well as smoke and heat damage throughout, according to a Saturday news release posted to the Enfield Fire Department’s Facebook page.
Two cats perished, but no people were injured in the fire, the cause of which is under investigation. Among those displaced are the property owner Scott Tibbits, who was living in the mobile home, as well as his son Damean Prentice, who was living in the nearby garage that was destroyed in the blaze. Three vehicles also were damaged.
The property sits just down the street from Chase’s Auto Salvage, where a garage was destroyed and an office building was damaged in a fire in late January.
In addition to the Enfield Fire Department, the response included members of fire departments from Canaan; Springfield. N.H.; Lebanon; Hanover; Grafton; and Grantham; as well as Canaan and Enfield ambulance personnel and the Enfield Police Department.
The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the residents, fire officials said.
