The Moncton Fire Department says a call for the fire on Lorne Street came in at 6 a.m. on Thursday.

Crews found a “fully involved” fire in a travel trailer, extending into a nearby garage and house.

Charlie Melanson, platoon chief of the department says the fire got into the roof trusses and siding of the house but did not get inside the home.
