Huge Fire Behind Bank of the West & The Car Wash

The fire departments responded to a huge fire, believed to be arson as two juveniles were found nearby, moments ago. As I heard on the scanner a power line is done. The flames could be seen shooting above the trailers at Copper Country MHP all the way to the furthest point in the lower portion of the park. The crews worked very hard in getting the fire down in a matter of minutes upon arrival. They will contact an investigator to check the scene in the morning. It will be cordoned off for safety until then. As I am typing this, crews are checking for hotspots and hitting spots that look like they could reignite. They should be done in at least another hour.
