A trailer at 427 Gth Ave SE, owned by Alvin Schulz, burned after an overheated oil heater caused extensive damage. Firefighters arrived at 10:20 pm Monday, flames from the side and a wall hole near the heater were reported. Schulz had been preparing to sell the unit and did not live there with his family, who stay with Schulz’s parents nearby. Several residents were hospitalized or discharged after the incident and the area experienced ongoing trailer-fire activity this winter.
