Paris, Tenn.–A home was destroyed by fire and one person injured with burns in Henry County this morning.
Oakland Volunteer Fire Chief James Martin said the department was dispatched to 4709 Clifty Road on a report of a structure fire and found a house trailer already ablaze. The fire broke through the roof shortly after they arrived “and quickly spread through the rest of the trailer,” he said.
Oakland Fire responded with three trucks and five firefighters and mutual aid was provided by the Paris Fire Department with two trucks and four or five firefighters; Paris Landing with their large tanker and two firefighters and Springville with one truck and two firefighters.
Martin said one person was transported to the hospital with burns on their feet.
“The cause of the fire is still under investigation but is believe to have started in the bathroom,” he said.
