House fire on Cherry Street ends in total loss of property
A house fire on the corner of Cherry Street and Webb Avenue in Lake Isabella started for unknown reasons at about 11:30 a.m. on Friday the 13th. The fire started at the front of the residence facing Cherry St. and quickly spread to the single wide mobile home which appeared to be unoccupied at the time of the fire. A crowd of neighbors quickly formed to watch the carnage as firefighters worked in 100-degree plus temperatures to extinguish the blaze. Neighbors in nearby houses took to their roofs with garden hoses as a precaution to stop any possiblity of the fire spreading to their homes. The most immediate neighbor to the burning mobile home scrambled to remove a boat and SeaDoos from their driveway nearest to the blaze. Kern County Fire Batallion Commander John Hayes said, “If the pine tree (very near the point of ignition) had been trimmed farther back, the fire probably wouldn't have spread to the carport and then the house.”
