Early this morning, units Capt-150, E-151, E-152, E-153, E-154, PI-1 and PI-2 from the Matlacha/Pine Island Fire Control District responded to a structure fire in St. James City off Harpoon Lane.
Upon arrival around 1:30 a.m., crews found a fully engulfed travel trailer within feet of a mobile home. According to a report from the M/PIFCD, firefighters quickly sprung into action and extinguished the fire and were able to prevent major damage to the mobile home. The mobile home fortunately only sustained exterior damage.
The quick response and action from the first arriving engine prevented any further spread to neighboring structures.
No injuries were reported and the cause is currently under investigation.
