A Winnebago trailer in Fort-Coulonge was destroyed by fire on Friday night.

At around 11:30 p.m. the Fort-Coulonge Fire Department was called out to a property on rue Francoeur. Chief Gaetan Fortin said that when firefighters arrived, the trailer, situated on the front lawn of the house, was fully involved.

“We had to make sure we protected the house while fighting the fire itself,” he said. 

Fortin said that in addition to 10 firefighters and two trucks from his department, they also called in two trucks from the Mansfield Fire Department to assist.

“It’s standard in situations like this because there’s no hydrants close to that area, so I wanted to be sure we had a lot of water to be able to protect the dwelling itself,” he said.

Fortin said that they were on site fighting the blaze for around two hours. No damage was done to the home, and no one was injured.
