A fifth-wheel trailer was destroyed by fire on the Mount Tryon Road just west of Maple Plains in central P.E.I.

Shawn Jessome, captain of the Borden-Carleton fire department, says three trucks and 12 firefighters responded just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

He said there were "flames coming out everywhere" and that the trailer was completely engulfed.

"Once we extinguished it there was nothing left of it — no shell, just a floor," Jessome said.

No one was injured.

The biggest risk during the fire, Jessome said, was from four 20-pound barbecue propane tanks close to the trailer, which firefighters had to hose down continually to make sure they didn't blow.

The fire is under investigation by the provincial Fire Marshal's Office.

It is one of four fires on P.E.I. within a 24-hour period.
