No one was injured, but the damage was extensive after a fire in Vernon’s north end this morning.

Firefighters responded to the 5100-block of Anderson Way just before noon, to a report of a recreational trailer fire in a parking lot. Upon arrival, firefighters found the trailer fully involved and still attached to a truck.

“The crew was able to contain and extinguish the fire very quickly, preventing it from spreading to the truck,” said Deputy Fire Chief Alan Hofsink. “Thankfully the truck and trailer were parked away from any structures, which minimized risk to nearby businesses. The interior of the enclosed trailer has been significantly damaged from fire and smoke.”
