Your Northwest firefighters responded to a trailer house fire early this morning. First-arriving units were met with heavy fire conditions from a trailer home, vehicle, and surrounding debris on the property. Firefighters immediately began an offensive fire attack and had the fire extinguished in approximately 60 minutes. Due to the absence of hydrants near the trailer, crews deployed 1,000 feet of large-diameter hose to establish a water supply.
