HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — Hernando County Fire Rescue (HCFR) is working to extinguish a large fire that included multiple explosions, officials said.
Just before 12:30 p.m. Sunday, HCFR responded to a reported residential fire in the 34000 block of Talisman Street in Ridge Manor.
The fire incident involved a mobile home and multiple travel trailers on the Ridge Manor property.
Initial calls reported heavy black smoke. Multiple explosions were occurring on the property as well, officials said.
Crews found a mobile home fully engulfed in flames once they arrived, along with multiple pull-behind RV-style trailers.

Two additional engines and tankers were requested to the scene and Pasco County Fire Rescue also responded to assist.
Officials said it took crews over an hour to bring the fire under control, and they remain on scene working to extinguish the property fully.
People are asked to avoid the area.

A retired law enforcement officer thought he took all the right steps when someone stole his identity and opened a new phone line, but he was still left with the bill.
