Firefighters say an electrical problem likely sparked a mobile home fire this morning in Jackson County.

It happened just before 6:30a.m. at N-5492 Buckeye Road in the Township of Brockway.

Firefighters say the owner was not home at the time. They say a neighbor saw the flames and called for help.

There's no damage estimate, but the department says the home had heavy fire, smoke and heat damage.

The Assistant Chief says a firefighter hurt his ankle at the scene.
