House and Mobile tindaminium

[Brad Borden]

We responded to a structure fire last night. On arrival it was a ordinary structure. As we did our scene size up, we realized the house had 3 double wide mobile homes attached LENGTH WISE the structure was over 350 feet long. We responded in 6 minutes. We saved the house. The mobile mansion was gone on arrival with 3 cars in the handy man attached garage. No one was home. Six hours later a relative drives up and said 15 people lived there, they left for vacation yesterday.
I guess the local building regulators had no problem with the additions.
I go back on shift Monday. I will get you the pictures. Do you all see those type of additions in your area?

Here in Oregon we have a two-trailer maximum. Unless you're on the SE side of town in which case you can get the 'Tonya Harding' variance :)

350 feet long.... that sounds crazy... I'm anxious to see pictures.

You should submit a story and pix to firehouse or EMS Responder.com. Let all the emergency services people enjoy the story.

Three double-wides, 350 feet long? Isn't the typical length around 60 feet per?

Plus 9 2 car garages :confused: Yeah I was thinking that myself. Hell of a mobile home at almost 120 each.

I read house plus three not just mobiles.

Looking forward to the pictures.:D

Figure 3 - 70 foot long mobile homes, that's 210 feet, ... 350-210=140 ...

... still, though, that was o-n-e l-o-n-g h-o-u-s-e.

I slowed down to get some pictures. The structure was 280 feet long. There was a house, 2 mobile homes, a handy man addition, 2 car carport, and a 2 car garage.

Brad,

Thanks for the photos.

What a mess that is, and was.
