A mobile home near the corner of Belmar Lane and Danville Drive was scorched by fire on Thursday afternoon in Evansville.

The fire happened in a mobile home park off of Wimberg Road, near St. Joesph Avenue. No one was home at the time of the fire, so no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

The fire started in the rear area of the home.

Fire officials believe it started in the home's kitchen, but no official cause has been determined at this time.

The McCutchanville Fire Department responded to the fire on Thursday, in addition to the German Township Fire Department, and the Scott Township Fire Department.

The cold front has come and gone and with it our threat for Severe Weather. However, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect portions of the Tri-State through the remainder of the evening ahead. In fact, there is a possibility that some of the thunderstorms we see between now and 9PM or so could produce small hail and wind gusts in excess of 40 mph. Anyone planning on attending a football game this evening should make sure an umbrella or poncho is on hand to keep you dry and should anticipate at least some rain delays to occur. The rain should finally exit east of the Tri-State between 10PM and 12AM; it's around that time that wind speeds will again pick up some steam - our northwesterly winds are expected to gust as high as 35 mph at times overnight.
