A Sunday night trailer fire resulted in a total loss, but no injuries.

Selma Fire Chief Mike Stokes said the call from 739 River Road came through at around 11:40 p.m. and units reportedly were on the scene six minutes later.

“When the units arrived the trailer was fully involved and they had to fight the fire by defensive methods,” he said. “They were unable to get inside.”

The cause of the fire was still under investigation as of Monday evening.
