Modular trailer, dozens of trees burn in Thermal

Cal Fire / Riverside County Firefighters are on scene of fire burning in Thermal.

According to Cal Fire, a modular trailer and nearby eucalyptus trees on the 65000 block of Van Buren Street were well engulfed in flames.

The modular trailer was destroyed and dozens of trees were burned, Cal Fire confirmed.

Firefighters at the scene told News Channel 3 they believe the owner of the property was cutting grass and sparked the blaze. This is a preliminary report as investigators will still need to interview the homeowner to be sure.

The fire was contained shortly before 6 p.m. Crews will remain on scene for another 4 hours to make sure no fires erupt and for clean up.
