HANNAWA FALLS -- Four people safely escaped from a Sunday night trailer fire, according to the Hannawa Falls Fire Department.

Firefighters say they were dispatched to a trailer fire at 161 Butternut Ridge Road at 8:25 p.m. and arrived on scene about 10 minutes after.

Flames were coming from the front of the trailer upon arrival, the fire department said.

Firefighters arriving on scene were able to extinguish the flames “within minutes,” the fire department said.

Mutual aid came from Pierrepont, Colton and Potsdam fire departments.

The fire is still under investigation.

Volunteers from the North Country Chapter of the American Red Cross provided immediate emergency aid to the family of four after the fire Sunday night.
