The Wrangell Volunteer Fire Department arrived in force to fight a fire that damaged a residence at Stough’s Trailer Park on Friday, Oct. 21.
Fire Chief Tim Buness said the fire, which began around 10:30 a.m., started in a bathroom at the rear of a trailer in the park on Evergreen Avenue.
“There was some structural damage, but it was not extensive and was confined to a relatively small area,” Buness said.
Smoke was plentiful and seen billowing from the roof when firefighters began using foam to knock down the smoldering structure.
“One of the bathroom windows was open, so the neighbors saw smoke and called us,” Buness added.
Twenty six firefighters were on-scene and used 43 gallons of water and foam to quell the flames, according to Buness.
Buness added that the cause of the fire is still under investigation and no one was injured in the incident.
