Salmon River and District Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Robert Logan said the property owner had recently purchased the mobile home on East Prince Street, and he believed no one was living inside it.
"The original call was a porch on fire, but it was fully involved when we got here," he said as firefighters from Salmon River, Valley-Kemptown, and Bible Hill continued to douse the structure.
Truro Fire Service also responded to the call, which came in just prior to 9:30 a.m., and Cobequid District Fire Brigade was on standby at the Salmon River station.
Logan confirmed the fire was under investigation and he was waiting to hear back from the fire marshal.
Firefighters were still on scene dousing the hot spots more than an hour after the initial call, which Logan believed was from someone working in the graveyard across the street.
Traffic through the area was being diverted to Harmony Road and Barry Avenue.
