Fire damages another trailer at New Era Trailer Court
In Murphysboro, a trailer at New Era Trailer Court burned over the weekend after the local fire department allegedly refused to respond to a report due to owner Quentin Parrish not paying a $500 out of city fire call charge. Renters had opposed a $25 monthly rent hike to fund protection, with some buying renter’s insurance instead.
