DOERUN, Ga. — A woman’s dog died in a fire that destroyed her mobile home Monday.

A passerby saw the fire at 3542 Highway 133 North near Doerun about noon Monday and called 911.

A Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy said the mobile home was fully involved when he arrived.

The residence belonged to Lizzie Woodard, who drove up while volunteer firefighters were battling the blaze. She told the deputy there was no one else in the residence except her small dog.

The deputy said the dog died in the fire. All the contents of the home were destroyed, he said.

He said the firefighters couldn’t give a definite cause for the fire.

The Red Cross was summoned to help Woodard with short-term living arrangements.
