WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A fire destroyed four camper trailers at Wellington Lake Thursday morning. Two other trailers were not destroyed but have some damage. The trailers were vacant, and there are no injuries to report.
The fire department said the fire happened shortly after 8 a.m. The Wellington Fire Department chief said the fire spread from one trailer to the next quickly because of the wind.
He said the blaze almost got to a fifth trailer, but firefighters arrived in time and were able to save it. We asked him why there are so many trailers at the lake already. He said the land rush for camper spots at the lake starts March 1.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Other fire departments, including Conway Springs and Mayfield, also helped at the scene.
