The trailer was located in a large parking area for freight trailers owned by several companies. Access was made to the interior of the trailer and the fire was extinguished. Lewiston Police Department personnel on scene advised that the trailers in the area are sometimes used by homeless people for shelter. The trailer was searched and no persons were found.
