A family member clasps her head in worry as firefighters work to extricate a man trapped Saturday by a fallen wall at a mobile home that burned last weekend. The unidentified man was trying to salvage items from the mobile home at 1488 Funston-Doerun Road, which caught fire Feb. 22, according to a volunteer firefighter at the scene. Wind blew the wall in, the firefighter said, and emergency personnel used air bags to raise the wall enough to slide a spine board under the man and pull him out. He was taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center, but because his name was not available, his condition could not be released. Among the personnel who responded were Funston and Doerun volunteers, the Moultrie Fire Department rescue truck, EMS and Colquitt County sheriff’s deputies.
