A trailer was destroyed by an overnight fire in a parking lot near the Macdonald Avenue Target store, sending flames high into the air above an area where several RVs and trailers have recently taken up residence.

He said the fire appeared to originate from a propane tank on the driver’s side of the trailer, where blue flames were visible as firefighters worked to control the blaze.
