How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – Firefighters from the Northshore and Clearlake responded to a morning fire that destroyed a recreational trailer.
Northshore Fire Battalion Chief Steve Hart said firefighters arrived on scene after 9 a.m. at the intersection of Walker Ridge Road and Indian Valley Reservoir Road to find a 38-foot “toy hauler” – used to transport ATVs – on fire.
Two men had traveled from Fairfield with their quad runners and were off riding when “for some unknown reason the trailer caught fight,” Hart said.
The two men and some other witnesses reported it, although Hart said the reporting was complicated by bad cell service in the area.
Hart said Northshore Fire responded with two engines, Cal Fire sent an engine, a helicopter and a fire chief, and Lake County Fire Protection District in Clearlake responded with a water tender.
It took about 15 minutes to knock the fire down, but more than an hour to mop up, with firefighters leaving the scene at 11:30 a.m., Hart said.
Hart said the trailer's owner suffered some superficial burns to his face when the relief valve on the propane tank purged.
“He refused treatment at the scene,” said Hart.
