Fire Destroys Single-Wide Trailer In Monterey

A Monday morning fire destroyed a single-wide trailer in Monterey.

Monterey Fire Chief Kevin Peters said a total of seven firemen responded to the Peter Avenue address at 3:06 a.m.

Peters said a female occupant escaped the home before firemen arrived on scene.

“We got it put out within 15 or 20 minutes,” Peters said. “We were there doing overhaul and cleanup after that.”

No injuries occurred during the two-hour response.

Peters said an official cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.

“Everything is still open right now,” Peters said. “At the time that this happened, the weather was not an issue, but hopefully later today or tomorrow we will have a better idea of what happened.”

Peters said neighbors and family members are caring for the female occupant at this time.
