Just before 5 a.m. this morning a passerby called 911 to report a fire in the Patona Bay resort area that had already destroyed one trailer and had spread to a second.

The Leesburg/Plain Township Fire Department was called to the scene at 30 EMS T33I Lane, which is a summer resort area.

According to Leesburg/Plain Township Fire Chief Michael Wilson, the fire started in the unoccupied trailer at lot 30 and spread to a second trailer. Skirting around the second trailer was destroyed and other external heat damage resulted.

While a cause is not yet known, Wilson said none of the trailers in the park had electricity. The Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating.
