Fire destroys trailers, vehicle near Ephrata

EPHRATA — Two travel trailers and a vehicle were destroyed by fire in the 10700 block of Road E.6 Northwest, southwest of Ephrata Thursday night.

Grant County Fire District 13 Assistant Chief Todd Hufman said there were no injuries. Fire crews were dispatched at about 9:30 p.m., Hufman said.

Firefighters found the two travel trailers and the wooden porch connecting them in flames, according to GCFD 13. The fire spread to a vehicle parked nearby. A home and other vehicles on the property were threatened.

Witnesses reported a fireball that might have been connected to the explosion of a propane tank, Hufman said. Other propane tanks were venting when firefighters arrived.

Fire personnel saved the home and other vehicles. No one was home during the blaze.

Fire District 13 was assisted by Ephrata Fire Department personnel and an ambulance crew, Hufman said. About 22 fire and ambulance personnel responded to the fire.

Responders were on the scene about two hours, Hufman said.
