FERRidAY &8212; A Ferriday woman lost her mobile home in a fire Friday.
Assistant Fire Chief Joe Sontoyo said dispatch received a call at 10:43 a.m. that a trailer at 412 Jordan Alley was on fire.
&8220;We arrived on the scene two minutes later to find smoke and flames coming out the middle-bedroom window,&8221; Sontoyo said.
Sontoyo said the Concordia Parish and Ridgecrest fire department assisted in putting out the fire.
&8220;We had the fire out in an hour and luckily no one was home at the time of the incident,&8221; Sontoyo said.
