Elsinore and Monroe City Fire Departments battled a fire in Elsinore Wednesday.

The fire was burning an old shed and an abandoned single wide mobile home that ready for dismantling.

According to the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, a subject had been burning the canal banks in the area earlier in the day, but had left.

The fire had been driven by the wind toward the shed and mobile home from the canal bank. Two other trailers that had people living in them were threatened, but no one was home at the time.

The fire departments were able to extinguish the flames but were called back later as the winds picked up and smoke was picking up. There were no injuries and damage estimates aren’t yet determined. The subject who started the fire on the canal bank was cited for reckless burning.

The Sevier County Sheriff’s Offices is reminding anyone that in order to burn, you must get a burn permit and notify public safety dispatch.
