The Columbia Fire Department assisted the Dupo, Prairie du Pont and Cahokia fire departments in responding to a storage trailer fire reported in the 900 block of Sugarloaf Hill Road in rural St. Clair County shortly after 3:30 p.m. Friday.

The property owner was burning items near the structure when the fire apparently got out of control, igniting the single-wide mobile home that was being used for storage. The trailer was completely destroyed. No injuries were reported in the incident.
