Trailer fire

The interior of this camper trailer on Tanager Drive was heavily damaged in a Sunday afternoon fire, the Pocatello Fire Department reported.

POCATELLO — Firefighters believe a camper trailer is likely a total loss after it caught fire on Sunday afternoon in a north Pocatello neighborhood. 

The burning unoccupied camper trailer on Tanager Drive was reported by a passerby around 2 p.m.

Pocatello firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze in about five minutes.

There were no injuries but the flames scorched enough of the camper trailer's interior to probably make it a total loss, firefighters said.

Firefighters kept the fire from spreading to other nearby vehicles and they temporarily evacuated one adjacent home as a precaution.

Tanager Drive was closed for over an hour because of the fire. 

Pocatello police also responded to the incident.

The blaze remains under investigation.
