Travel trailers burn at Port Angeles facility

PORT ANGELES — Firefighters extinguished blazes in two travel trailers at Emerald Mobile Home & RV Park on Saturday morning, the Port Angeles Fire Department said in a press release.

No one was hurt, according to the release.

Firefighters were dispatched at 6:43 a.m. Saturday to a report of a trailer ablaze at the mobile home park at 1215 U.S. Highway 101 west of Port Angeles.

When firefighters arrived, they found two trailers in flames with power lines damaged, said Captain Travis McFarland in the release.

Firefighters extinguished the fires and blockaded the downed powerline until Port Angeles Light Operations was able to deenergize the lines, McFarland said.

Port Angeles Fire Department responded with one engine, one medic unit and one command vehicle. Clallam 2 Fire Rescue provided an engine to assist.

Olympic Ambulance stood by with one medic unit.

Fourteen firefighters were needed to put out the fires.

The cause remained under investigation on Sunday.

The estimated loss remained to be determined.
