A mobile home on South Roosevelt in Burlington was damaged by fire Saturday evening.

The mobile home at 601 South Roosevelt, lot 1, owned by Daniel Swanson, may not be a total loss. The fire marshal arrived shortly after firemen knocked down the fire to assess damage and determine exactly how the fire was caused.

Burlington Fire Chief Matt Trexel told KBUR that firefighters managed to get a quick knockdown.

Swanson was uninjured, having safely escaped from the home after discovering the fire around 6:00 pm.
