PUBLIC SAFETY Fire displaces Ashland couple and their baby Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 10, 2014 at 10:13 AM Updated Dec 10, 2014 at 5:51 PM Posted Dec. 10, 2014 at 10:13 AM Updated Dec 10, 2014 at 5:51 PM » Social News An Ashland couple and their baby were displaced by an early morning fire Wednesday that destroyed their trailer at the corner of Walker Avenue and Siskiyou Boulevard. Ashland Fire & Rescue crews responded at 12:30 a.m. to find smoke and flames coming from Unit 52 at the Pines Trailer Court, 1565 Siskiyou Blvd. "The residents were awake at the time of the fire, which likely saved their lives because there was no smoke alarm in the residence," said Ashland Fire Marshal Margueritte Hickman in a press release. "Thankfully all the residents and pets quickly evacuated. It could have been tragic if the occupants had been sleeping when this fire started." Crews extinguished the flames in a matter of minutes, but the fire already had destroyed the trailer's interior and all of its contents. It is considered a total loss, officials said. The fire's cause remains under investigation, but an electrical problem is suspected, Hickman said. No one was injured. The American Red Cross provided food, clothing, infant supplies, shoes and other resources for the family, according to an email from the Red Cross.
