Engines 514 arrived first and established a water supply. Engine 510 and Truck 516, followed shortly after and stretched an 1 3/4" handline to the front door of the trailer. Crews entered the structure and began a primary search and knocked down the fire. Crews outside the structure began opening up the windows to vent the smoke.
The primary search was negative.
Thanks to a quick response crews were able to stop the fire before it engulfed the entire structure. No damage to surrounding trailers was reported.
There were no civilian or firefighter injuries during this incident.
The fire is believed to be accidental in nature and is thought to have started as a result of an electrical malfunction.
