LAKEPORT, Calif. – Firefighters responded to a trailer fire at Big Valley Rancheria early Tuesday morning.

The fire, reported at about 12:30 a.m., was located on Mission Rancheria Road across from Mission Way, according to radio reports.

Firefighters arriving on scene reported finding a fully involved singlewide travel trailer.

Lakeport Fire Chief Ken Wells said the travel trailer, located near the lake, was a 40-foot by 8-foot 1963 model, with stairs and a loft. He said three quarters of it was burned, with only the front quarter left standing.

“No one's been seen there for two weeks,” Wells said, adding that the trailer did have electricity.

Lakeport Fire sent one engine and seven personnel, and Kelseyville Fire sent one engine and three firefighters, he said.

Wells said the fire took about 30 minutes to extinguish.
