A trailer fire Friday night shut down State Highway 20 south of Oak Harbor for more than an hour.

Firefighters responded to a call just after 8 p.m. for a trailer on fire off Highway 20, about 500 yards past the entrance to the Eagle Vista neighborhood, said North Whidbey Fire and Rescue chief Mike Brown.

The travel trailer was parked outside a home and the owner had allowed people to stay in it. It’s not clear what started the fire, he said. No one was hurt.

The state patrol routed cars through the Scenic Heights neighborhood while firefighters doused the trailer.

“It was a melted shell by the time we put it out,” he said.

The Oak Harbor Fire Department and Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services also responded.
