Fire Destroys Meadow Area Mobile Home

Fire swept through a mobile home off Lee-Johnson Road before noon Friday, totally consuming the trailer. A witness at the scene said a man who was in the trailer when it caught fire ran to a neighbor's home to call 911. He said the man was visiting a woman who reportedly lived at the trailer with her one-year-old son, but was not at home when the fire started. Firefighters from Meadow, and Plain View, in neighboring Sampson County , battled the blaze. The trailer, owned by Lloyd Earl Herring, was already fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived.
