By BILL JONES Staff Writer A Mosheim-area woman escaped injury after a smoke alarm alerted her to fire in her mobile home. Nancy Chandler, of 478 Pruitt Road South, said she had been awakened by a sounding smoke alarm about 11 p.m. and had discovered the right front corner of her mobile home was on fire, according to a report filed by Deputy Sheriff Robert Livingston at 11:18 p.m. on Friday No injuries were reported. However, damage resulting from the fire was estimated at about $15,000, according to Deputy Livingston's report. He reported that Chandler told officers that she had been placing cigarette butts in a bucket in the area where the fire started. But the report said the cause of the fire remained unknown. The Mosheim and Midway volunteer fire departments extinguished the fire, according to the sheriff's department report. Also responding to the scene was a disaster services unit from the Greene County Chapter of the American Red Cross, the report indicated.
