Canton Fire responded to its second working fire within five hours when dispatched to 159 Potter Road for a reported camper trailer fire at 12:38 am. Chief Johnson arrived on scene at 12:44 and found a tow-behind camper fully involved, with flames spreading to a utility trailer and threatening multiple nearby structures. He requested the Tanker Task Force for additional water supply.
Engine 7 (Gavin) responded at 12:45 and arrived at 12:56. Tanker 20 (Crowe) arrived shortly after. Crews stretched handlines from Engine 7 and quickly brought the fire under control.
