The cause of a blaze last night outside Toledo that destroyed an unoccupied residence is under investigation.
Lewis County Fire District 2 was called at 8:48 p.m. to the 1500 block of state Route 505, about a half mile east of town.
Arriving firefighters found flames coming from three sides of the older double-wide mobile home, according to Capt. Tracy Summers.
Nobody was hurt, Summers said.
Crews were assisted by fire departments from Winlock, Vader-Ryderwood and Toutle. It was extinguished in about 45 minutes, Summers said.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office responded as well, because a person was seen walking west on state Route 505 shortly after the fire was reported.
Chief Criminal Deputy Stacy Brown said an eviction notice was posted on the home on Jan. 15.
