Candles, propane stovetop, gasoline, and reckless behavior blamed for Kerman fire

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Flames ripped through a mobile home in Kerman overnight torching the inside and making it unlivable.

Fresno fire crews say the fire broke out around 1:15 a.m. Sunday and they had the flames under control in less than an hour, but the damage was already done. The furniture and insulation all burned as well as a gas can in the middle of the room.

In the last hour, firefighters said the fire was caused by reckless behavior involving candles, a propane stovetop, and gasoline -- but they say it was unintentional and everyone got out safely.
