A trailer at Panhandle Trailer Court caught fire last Saturday morning, May 16. The fire department received the call at approximately 10:10 a.m. The trailer's resident, Norm Canaday, was reportedly inside the building when the fire broke out. Panhandle resident Duke Aitken said he and another neighbor, Dan Flickinger, helped Canaday escape the trailer by having him jump out the back door onto a mattress.
The fire was put out around 11 a.m. Fire Chief Tim Buness said that Canaday was unharmed, but he was taken to the hospital for an evaluation. He also said he is unsure if the trailer is salvageable. The cause of the fire was unknown as of Saturday afternoon, but Buness said they suspect it was caused by an electrical problem in the trailer. The fire department did not respond to requests for further comment as of press time, May 19.
