Detroit Man Escapes Mobile Home Fire

If you’re a heavy sleeper, the smell of smoke or the bright orange glow of a flame isn’t exactly the most welcoming wake-up call. But Rick Kennedy, a mobile home owner from Detroit, was thankful to have woken up in time to escape a dangerous fire that threatened to engulf his mobile home. On December 20th, 2015, Kennedy woke up in the middle of the night after he was woken by the smell of thick smoke.

Mobile Home Firefighter Receives Full Face Transplant

Firefighters face danger on a weekly basis. Even with protective gear and a team of trained firefighters by their side, there is no guarantee that a firefighter will be kept out of harms way. In the event of a blazing flame, firefighters must risk their well being in order to save potential victims and put out the fire before it spreads. Patrick Hardison’s Story Patrick Hardison was a volunteer firefighter from Mississippi. In an unfortunate mobile home fire in 2001, Hardison was searching for fire victims when the burning roof collapsed on top of him.  His helmet was knocked off and his facemask melted rapidly. Hardison held his breath, closed his eyes, and jumped out of a window before the searing fire claimed his life. Unfortunately, Hardison suffered severe burns on his entire face, leaving him without...

Mobile Home Property Value Increases

Mobile homes, or, manufactured homes, have long been considered the preferred choice in terms of affordability. Not only could one attain the comfort and flexibility of owning their own home, but they can do so with lower monthly payments, allowing them to pay off their mobile home in a short amount of time when compared to the years it takes to pay off a standard home. Cost of Living Rises in Mobile Home Communities Betty Burnette, a resident of Rocky Brook Mobile Home Park in Carrboro since 1972, moved into the park with a monthly rent of just $35. Now, she pays $290 and claims that the services provided by the mobile home park are nothing like when she first moved in. The cost of living continues to increase in Chapel Hill and Carrboro along with property value,...

Two Florida Boys Save the Day When They Help Rescue Five Neighbors From Burning Mobile Home

To be a hero is an incredible feat. Role models and idols inspire, but a hero has a uniquely brave quality that sets him or her apart from any other. A hero is defined as a person who is admired or idealized for courage. A hero is a man or a woman who risks his or her safety for the lives of others.  Bravery and selflessness make a hero. In Orange County, Florida, two young boys became heroes when a mobile home nearly burned to the ground in late June of this year. Isaiah Francis, 10, and Jeremiah Grimes, 11, faced the flames and smoke to save the small children inside the mobile home. The two neighborhood boys were doing what any young boys would normally be doing on a sunny afternoon: playing games. Their summer fun...

Traditional School Bus Turned Into A Mobile Home!

  Probably at some point in your life, you’ve seen none of these bright, road-roaming Twinkies. They’re big, they’re yellow, and they’re usually full of children. These familiar vehicles are school buses, and they’ve allowed working parents to continue their day-to-day job without the added stress of getting their child to and from school. The buses come and pick the children up from a stop near your house, and the driver takes care of the rest. But, what if you could turn one of these gargantuan beasts into your very own mobile home? On the outside, it’s just an ordinary school bus. Oh yes. But on the inside, there is a cozy kitchen, comfortable living space, and cushiony bed all for your mobile convenience! Never again will you look at a school bus the same way. It’s more than...
