Outbuilding Fires Spread to Homosassa Mobile Home, Boat, and Pickup Truck

Crystal River, FL - Firefighters from Citrus County Fire Rescue (CCFR) suppressed a multi-exposure structure fire Saturday night in Homosassa after flames from two burning sheds extended into an adjacent mobile home, a boat, and a pickup truck.

Emergency units were dispatched during the night hours of Saturday, October 24, 2026, following reports of a structure fire on S. Frank Meyer Pt. in Homosassa.

First-arriving crews encountered two detached sheds fully engulfed in flames, with active fire spreading into a nearby single-wide mobile home. Approximately 25 percent of the residence was involved upon arrival, and radiant heat and flames also damaged a nearby boat and pickup truck on the property.

Firefighters launched an immediate, aggressive exterior and interior attack, prioritizing the protection of the residence to halt further structural extension. Crews brought the fire involving the mobile home under control by 10:55 p.m. and declared all remaining exterior fires under control by 11:04 p.m.

Primary and secondary searches confirmed that no occupants or pets were inside the home, and no civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

Department officials noted that CCFR units had responded to a separate vehicle fire at the same address earlier that day. Whether a connection exists between the two incidents remains under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal's Office.
