Firefighter transported to hospital after trailer fire in Somerset County

One firefighter was injured Friday afternoon after several trailers caught fire in Milford Township, Somerset County.

Officials on scene said the call came in around 3:15 p.m. for reports of a fire on the 200 block of Beagle Road.

Crews arrived on scene to find three trailers on fire, with crews able to take down the third before it reached a fourth trailer.

Firefighter Chad Lytle said the fire started after people were burning trash outside.

Officials said the fire then entered the brush, which quickly spread to the trailers, which were vacant at the time of the fire.

Officials also said a firefighter was injured at the scene and taken to the hospital for treatment. Their condition and extent of injuries are unknown at this time.

Lytle said the risk of bushfires is high at this time of year and urged people not to burn outside fires.
