Mobile home destroyed by fire

A Carrollton man lost his home in an early morning fire Sept. 29.

Carrollton Fire Department was called to a mobile home at 120 12^th St. NW, Lot U,  at 3:08 a.m. The home is owned by Willard Hall, who received burns on his face and head. He was transported to the hospital by EMT Ambulance.

The mobile home was a total loss. The fire melted the siding of the mobile home next to Halls.
