Thomasville- A second family in Thomas County is displaced because of a fire over the weekend.

     This one destroyed a mobile home on Phillip Lane on Saturday. It was fully engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived. Authorities originally investigated the fire as arson because an explosion had been heard. But they've since determined that an electrical problem most likely caused it.

     One person was home during the fire. Fortunately he was not hurt. A firefighter was treated on scene for heat. But he went back to work immediately afterward.
