The Warrenton Fire Protection District responded to a fire in the Lakeview Estates community just before 7 a.m. this morning.
When crews arrived one trailer had been completely engulfed in flames and they were quickly traveling to another trailer next door, according to Fire Chief Anthony Hayeslip.
There was one occupant in each of the trailers at the time of the fire and both were able to escape without injuries.
There were also no injuries reported to fire district personnel.
Hayeslip said firefighters from Warrenton and several other districts were able to extinguish the fire before it engulfed the second trailer and prevented it from being a complete loss.
Unfortunately the first trailer was destroyed.
Hayeslip said the high winds impacting the area recently allowed the fire to grow and spread quickly, and said it "could've easily been worse with wind conditions."
At this time the cause of the fire is undetermined, said Hayeslip.
