Family homeless after mobile home fire in Weston

WESTON –One family is receiving assistance from the Red Cross following a fire that destroyed one mobile home and heavily damaged another at Lawndale Mobile Plaza early this morning.
Chief Randy Tolles of the Weston Fire Department said that the department received the call at approximately 1:15 a.m. The initial call was for a shed on fire, which was spreading to a mobile home.
The plaza is located at 13590 Center St.
The mobile homes were located adjacent to each other, said Tolles.
The shed near an unoccupied mobile home had caught fire and spread, he said. The flames then spread to the second mobile home, which had five occupants. A 14-year-old boy living in that home notified the other occupants of the blaze. All escaped unharmed.
