State and local authorities are working to determine what caused a fire that destroyed a mobile home in Rabun County.

Shortly before 9 p.m. on Sunday, January 8, E-911 dispatched Rabun County Fire Services to a residential structure fire on Connector Road off Camp Creek Road. When firefighters arrived, they found the mobile home fully involved.

Crews used tanker trucks to shuttle water to the scene due to the lack of nearby fire hydrants. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.
