A Monday evening fire gutted a trailer home at 150 E.H. Haas Road, Dowelltown.
According to County Fire Chief Donny Green, neighbors and others spotted the blaze and called 911 to report it. The owner of the trailer is Darren Rhea of Dowelltown but he had it leased to a tenant who had been in the process of moving out. “By the time we arrived the fire was coming out of the middle part of the trailer from the front and back porch windows. Although we got the fire out the trailer was extensively damaged. I would consider it a total loss, “ said Chief Green.
Members of the Main Station, tanker 1, and Liberty Station responded along with the Sheriff’s Department and DeKalb EMS.
Chief Green said no one was hurt or at home at the time of the fire.
The cause of the blaze is undetermined but under investigation by the Sheriff’s Department.
