Fire 'Destroys' Mobile Home on Belcher Road South

The Largo Fire Department responded to a blaze on July 3 around 10 a.m. on Belcher Road South.  The mobile home was a complete loss, said Shelby Willis, Chief of Professional Standards for the Largo Fire Department.

One man, two women, two children and a dog suffered from smoke inhalation because of the fire, Willis said.

The adult male was the most seriously injured and fire crews treated him with a cyanide antidote at the scene before transporting him to the Largo Medical Center, Willis said.

The women and children were sent to Morton Plant for smoke inhalation treatment. The dog was sent to the emergency veterinary clinic on South Belcher, Willis said.

The cause of the fire is unknown. The blaze remains under investigation.

The Red Cross has been contacted to assist the family after they are discharged from the hospital, Willis said.
