No one was injured following a fire late Wednesday afternoon that destroyed a trailer home in Upper Burrell.
Crews were dispatched at 4:32 p.m. to the 200 block of Manchester Hill Road for a report of a structure fire, said Upper Burrell Fire Chief Bryan Fitch.
The trailer’s occupant was not home at the time of the blaze, but four cats are missing, Fitch said.
The fire was under control in 23 minutes, Fitch said.
