Easter Morning Fire

Displaces 2 Adults and 2 Children

The Anchorage Fire Department Communications Center received a call Sunday morning around 8:44 AM advising of a fire somewhere in a single-wide mobile home trailer in the 5700 block of Fiji Street in Manoog's Isle Trailer Park.  Eleven units were immediately dispatched.  The first unit on location arrived six minutes after the initial call was received and advised there was heavy smoke showing.  The fire was mostly contained to the area located under the mobile home and behind the skirting however, there was some interior fire damage prior to the fire being brought  under control.  The Red Cross responded as 2 adults and 2 children, ages 4 and 13 mths, were displaced.  The cause of the fire and the extent of damage is still unknown at the time of this writing.
