A North LIberty mobile home suffered damage in a Monday afternoon fire.
The North Liberty Fire Department was dispatched at 2:43 p.m. Monday for a report of a building fire at 183 Golfview Court. Video of the fire sent to KCJJ shows a black column of smoke rising from the Golfview manufactured housing community.
As North Liberty fire units arrived, firefighters found heavy fire in the front room of the residence, extending to the exterior and attic space. Hose lines were deployed to extinguish the exterior fire as well as the interior and attic space. A search of the residence found a ferret, which was removed and given to the occupant. The occupants had self-evacuated. One was evaluated by the Johnson County Ambulance Service, but declined medical treatment beyond what was provided at the scene.
Firefighters from Coralville and Solon assisted in the effort. Crews were on the scene for just under 90 minutes.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. A loss estimate is currently unavailable.
