STANTON, Del. (AP) - Delaware officials are investigating three fires that destroyed a mobile home and damaged two others as arson.

The Wilmington News Journal reports three separate blazes broke out just after 2 a.m. Sunday in Stanton.

No injuries were reported.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal's office says the fires left 12 people without a home.

One mobile home occupied by nine people was destroyed. The other homes sustained moderate damage.

Damage is estimated at $40,000. All three fires are under investigation as arsons.
