CLEVELAND - No one was hurt in a structure fire just before 3 p.m. Monday on Oak Ridge Drive south of Cleveland. 
 
White County Public Safety Director David Murphy said when firefighters arrived at 187 Oak Ridge Drive, off Partin Road, there was heavy smoke coming from a doublewide mobile home. 
 
Murphy said 10 people lived in the home, including some children who where just getting home from school.  
 
Murphy said firefighters made a quick knockdown on the fire, but noted, "There is significant damage in the kitchen and living room area, smoke damage throughout the building.”   
 
A resident told Murphy they had been having trouble with the breaker box prior to the fire.   
 
Murphy said a fire investigator has been called to determine the exact cause of the fire.  
 
The American Red Cross was called to assist the victims with immediate needs.
