A home at the Nugget Trailer Court burned down in an early morning fire Friday, Dec. 19, as temperatures were in the high teens, making for icy conditions for firefighters.

No injuries were reported, said Wrangell Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jordan Buness, who added that the trailer was a total loss.

The lone resident of the trailer, Devan Harding, was at home when he discovered the fire, Buness said. Harding tried to put out the fire but was unsuccessful and ran to a neighbor to call the fire department — he had dropped his cell phone while fighting the fire at the trailer.

The call came in at 12:55 a.m. Equipment started rolling at 12:59 a.m. and arrived on the scene at 1:04 a.m., Buness said, with 17 firefighters and two engines, a tanker, search van, ambulance and several smaller response vehicles.

In addition to equipment from the downtown station, the fire engine from the department’s 5.5-Mile station was called to the scene.

“We are extremely fortunate to live in a community where our first responders act quickly and selflessly in the event of an emergency,” Brianna Shilling posted on Facebook the day after the fire.

“It is a life-changing devastation for Devan Harding, our three little boys and myself,” she posted. “The woodstove fire started in the night while he was asleep, he is lucky to be alive. … It consumed absolutely everything he has worked for just six days before Christmas. There is literally nothing left.”

Nugget Trailer Court is on the uphill side at about 3.1-Mile Zimovia Highway, with more than 15 trailers, Buness said.

The trailer was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

The flames did not spread to nearby units, though “there were two other trailers on either side that were fairly close,” the chief said.

The heat broke out some windows at the uphill trailer, letting in smoke, Buness added.

The cold weather made it icy for crews pouring water onto the trailer. The Public Works Department arrived to spread gravel on the road to make it safer for firefighters when they drove away from the scene.

Buness said firefighters went back to the scene Friday to put out some hotspots.
