A fire destroyed a trailer in Nancy yesterday afternoon.
Nancy, Faubush and Somerset firefighters responded to a report of a structure fire at 493 Sawmill Road shortly after noon Thursday.
The occupant of the trailer, Belinda Highfield, said she had noticed smoke coming from behind her couch for several days. She had been pouring water on the area to make it stop smoking — but yesterday, she said, the smoke got out of control, so she left the house and called for help.
The fire spread quickly and had destroyed the inside of the trailer and its contents by the time firefighters arrived on the scene.
Highfield said she lost everything she owned in the fire.
“We got a few pictures of her baby out,” said Nancy firefighter Lt. Will Bolin. The rest of Highfield’s belongings were destroyed, Bolin said, and the trailer is “unlivable.”
Bolin said firefighters had not determined the cause of the fire.
“There were no telltale signs,” he noted.
Highfield, the only occupant of the trailer, was not injured in the blaze.
Bolin said the local American Red Cross was providing clothing and food for Highfield — along with lodging for a few days.
Anyone interested in helping Highfield can contact the American Red Cross at (606) 678-4364.
Another trailer was destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon in White Lily. The cause of that fire has not been determined either.\
