A fire of undetermined origin destroyed a double-wide mobile home at 90 Tilson Lane in Baileyton on Thursday afternoon, but no injuries were reported.
Michele DeLotto, a spokesman for the Baileyton-based United Volunteer Fire Department, said volunteer firefighters were dispatched by Greene County 911 to the blaze at 4:59 p.m.
"It was fully engulfed (in flames) on the arrival of the first firefighters," DeLotto said.
She said the double-wide mobile home was owned by Ed Sensabaugh and was rented by Joe and Tracy Jones.
"It was a total loss," DeLotto said of the structure.
DeLotto reported that 10 firefighters and five fire trucks responded to the burning mobile home, which was located off Baileyton's Main Street just south of the bridge over Interstate 81.
Firefighters remained on the scene until about 8:15 p.m. Thursday, she said.
Also responding to the fire were units of the Greene County-Greeneville Emergency Medical Services, the Greene County Sheriff's Department, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the Greeneville Light & Power System and a disaster services unit from the Greene County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
