UPDATE: Trailer Fire Near Claypool
Silver Lake and Claypool fire departments have been called to a trailer on fire at 9687 S. County Farm Rd., Claypool.
According to homeowner Amber Bromley, the fire was quickly put out and was contained to the front porch of the mobile home. Though Bromley stated she is not aware of any interior damage to the home, the damage to the porch has raised major concerns for the family who utilizes the porch and a built on wheelchair ramp to escort Bromley’s 4 year old daughter.
Bromley stated that the ramp had just been built through a donation from a local organization and now, due to the weakening of the boards from the flames of the fire, is extremely concerned on how the family will safely transport her daughter.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Bromley noted that the fire began near an ash tray on the porch but believes the fire may have been the result of foul play. There were no injuries as a result of the fire.
An official statement is pending from Silver Lake Fire Department at this time as to the cause of the fire and the total cost of the damages.
