"We are investigating the fire at 154 Community Lane in Lakemont," said Laura Wright, spokeswoman for the State Fire Marshal's Office on Sunday morning.

"There were no utilities connected to the unit at the time of the fire," Wright said. "We don't have a specific cause or origin at this time, so the case remains under investigation."
