Electrical fire leaves Manderson family looking for housing

An electrical fire in an outdoor meter at the Holdsworth home in Manderson “fried” the electrical in their trailer — to the point where Rocky Mountain Power deemed it unlivable.
Dale, Cindy, Tammy, Pamela and Nathan Holdsworth, who were living there at the time, are seeking a mobile home to replace it with hopes it be donated. The best-case scenario would be a three bedroom with two bathrooms.
Dale said they heard “a whole bunch of loud pops.” Everyone ran out of the house. Manderson police officer Darold Newman was the first responder on site and he extinguished the fire.
The Holdsworths don’t know if any of their electrical appliances work because there is no electricity in the home. If those appliances don’t work, that will be another bridge to cross.
Anyone with a trailer they would be willing to provide to the Holdsworths may call 307-388-9814 or 307-271-2990.
