Camper trailer burns in weed fire
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
Area law enforcement
and the Lovell Vohm-
teer Fire Department re-
sponded to a report of an
out-of-control weed fire
near residential buildings
Wednesday, May 5.
Upon arrival at the
scene at Lane 12 outside
of Lovell, Fire Chief Jim
Minchow said, the weed
fire was burning out of con-
trol and had fully engulfed
a 2007 Raptor fifth-wheel
parked in the weeds near-
by. The trailer belonged
to Bruce and Mary Demp-
ster.
The residents start-
ed the weed fire earlier
in the day while burning
yard waste and it got out
of control as it hit the thick
weeds near the trailer,
Minchow said. Firefighters
used caution as both pro-
pane tanks on the trailer
exploded while firefighters
were on scene, Minchow
said.
The trailer was a to-
tal loss, Minchow said,
and the trailer's title and
other documents were also
burned in the blaze.

Megan Banks, 18, rear-ended a vehicle

ongoing domestic dispute involving two
Lovell residents.
