It’s not known how it started. No one was inside at the time of the fire. It has been abandoned since Hurricane Ian according to fire crews on scene.
Micahel Lee Anderson Senior is one neighbor who saw the whole thing happen.
“I saw the trailer go up in smoke, so I ran back in my yard and turned my sprinkler systems on,” he said, worrying the fire would spread.
