MAHNOMEN, Minn. - The Minnesota fire marshal's office has determined that a blaze that destroyed a mobile home about 15 miles north of Mahnomen on Wednesday was caused by an accidental electrical overload.
Thomas King, 30, Jennifer Burnette, 29, and their 2-year-old son were sleeping when the fire was reported by a neighbor about 9 a.m., but they escaped without injury, according to the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Department.
The couple's other two children, ages 7 and 8, were in school at the time. The home and its contents were a total loss.
