Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue firefighters quickly extinguished a fire that destroyed a 35-foot-long travel trailer parked on the property of a single family home on Wednesday.

The fire occurred in the 12000 block of NW Overland Trail around 2:47 p.m.

The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire but two teenage boys were in the yard of a residence behind the trailer and noticed the flames. The boys ran to a neighbor’s home and called 911.

When firefighters arrived the trailer was fully engulfed and there were power lines down on the property.

The County Fire Marshal responded to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. PSE also responded to deal with the power lines.

Heating safety tips:

As our weather continues to get colder, please remember these following safety tips when heating your home:

• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment.

• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.

• Never use your oven to heat your home.

• Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional.

• Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.

• Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room.

• Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home.

• Test smoke alarms monthly.
