COOPER TWP. -- A Cooper Township man, who was building a home around his mobile home, had no insurance and lost everything in a fire Wednesday, according to Danville Fire Chief Mark Fry.

Steve Troutman II, 57, and his son, Steve III, who is in his 20s, were left homeless by the blaze.

Fry called the house a total loss but hasn't estimated the damage yet. He has asked a state police fire marshal to investigate the cause.

Family members said at the scene the fire may have started from a wood stove in the home in an isolated area off Tower Road.

On Thursday, Danville Area Red Cross officials met with the Troutmans and provided them with food and clothing, executive director Betsy Petersen said.

The Troutmans are staying with family members in the Danville area.

They were able to save their three dogs from the home.

The father and son were treated at Geisinger Medical Center on Wednesday.
