LAKEPORT, Calif. – A fire destroyed a travel trailer at Big Valley Rancheria Tuesday evening.
The fire was first dispatched at approximately 8:48 p.m. in the area of Mission Way and Mission Rancheria Road, according to Lakeport Fire Chief Ken Wells.
He said the travel trailer's occupant reported that he had just returned from having dinner at the nearby Konocti Vista Casino when he saw flames coming from the trailer and went to a neighbor's to call for help.
Wells said Lakeport and Kelseyville Fire districts sent a total of two engines and seven firefighters. A Kelseyville Fire battalion chief and Wells also were on scene.
There were no injuries and the trailer didn't endanger any other structures, which Wells estimated were about 40 feet away.
Radio traffic indicated the fire was controlled just after 9:20 p.m., with 20 minutes of mop up required.
Wells said the trailer was a total loss.
As to the cause, while it hasn't been finally determined, “I don't think it's suspicious at all,” Wells said.
