The cause of a fire that destroyed a Jamestown mobile home on Monday is not known, according to the Jamestown Fire Department.
Lt. Sheldon Mohr of the Fire Department said Thursday that the cause of the afternoon blaze was undetermined. The amount of the loss is also not known without knowing the value of the trailer located at 154 Sunnyside Mobile Manor, he said.
