Upon arrival, firefighters found a heavily involved trailer fire.  Over 35 firefighters battled the blaze for 45 minutes before it was brought under control.   Firefighters endured freezing temperatures as 100’s of feet of fire hose circled the trailer.  The single occupant of the home was able to escape the fire.    Firefighters remained on the scene for just under three hours.   The home was a total loss.
 

Firefighters from Talleyville and Goodwill Fire Companies also responded to assist with relief and overhaul.   EMS support was provided by the NCC paramedics, Five Points and Wilmington Manor Fire Companies.
