Morning Fire Destroys Trailer

Battalion Chief Don Bowman said the trailer was fully engulfed in flames when the first firefighters arrived on the scene. It took the firefighters roughly an hour to get the blaze under control. The structure was considered a total loss.

Chief Bowman said the firefighters were unable to make entry into the structure since it was already engulfed in flames. It is not known if anyone was living in the trailer or not, but the structure appeared to be unoccupied at the time of the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Chattanooga police and Hamilton County EMS also provided assistance on the scene.
