COLONIE, NY - Firefighters were called to the Ballard Mobile Home Park on Loudon Road in Colonie on December 29, 2021, for reports of a trailer fire. The caller stated that there was a fire underneath the trailer, which was confirmed by a Boght assistant chief who was first on the scene. When the first engine arrived, crews stretched a handline and were able to quickly knock down the fire. Damage was limited to the underside of the trailer and crews were able to keep it from spreading to the inside of the trailer. No injuries were reported. Boght was assisted at the scene by Latham and Verdoy.
