A trailer is on fire at the Shoreline RV Park in the 2600 block of 6th Street in Eureka as of about 10:30 a.m. The first reports indicated that a 4-year-old was trapped in the structure and that multiple other nearby structures were threatened.

Soon afterwards the Incident Commander reported that all occupants were out of the trailer, however, that an ambulance was needed for someone with a hand injury.

Please remember that this story is unfolding. Information is being reported as we gather it. However, some of the information coming from witnesses and initial official reports could be wrong. We will do our best to get the facts but, in the case that something is inaccurate, we will update with correct information as soon as we can.

UPDATE 10:36 a.m.: The fire has been knocked down, according to the Incident Commander speaking over the scanner.

UPDATE 10:38 a.m.: According to our reporter at the scene, Mark McKenna, emergency personnel are doing CPR on a dog.

UPDATE 10:42 a.m.: All video and photos from Mark McKenna.

UPDATE 10:51 a.m.: The dog is being rushed to Myrtletown vet by the Humboldt Bay Fire Chief Sean Robertson. Another firefighter is onboard continuing to perform CPR.

UPDATE 10:55 p.m.: According to our reporter on the scene, an adult and a juvenile have been taken to the hospital with minor smoke inhalation injuries. Another adult has cuts to their hand. This is also a minor injury.

A cat and a dog were rescued from the fire. The cat is alright (Yay, for those nine lives), but the dog is being transported to the Myrtletown vet while a firefighter continues to perform CPR.

Humboldt Bay Fire does have equipment such as oxygen masks for animals and their firefighters have training to perform CPR on animals, also.

UPDATE 12:09 p.m.: One of the adults holds the child with smoke inhalation on his lap as they are loaded into the ambulance.

Smoke covers the face of a man who was involved in the fire today as he holds the child who had smoke inhalation on his lap while they are loaded into an ambulance.

I did not know that they got training on animal CPR, but I’m so glad they do. Thank you firefighters for helping the dog and I hope it turns out alright.

Thank for taking the training and action of CPR on a dog seriously. Dog will surely bless you all. There will be an abundance of treats waiting for you across the rainbow bridge.

Motorhome vs Trailer?

Glad all are relatively uninjured, and best wishes for the dog.

A valiant effort by all involved.

A big thank you to our Humboldt Bay Fire Department. Very happy everyone managed to get out of that motorhome. I pray the dog will be ok. Some sad pictures of the owner’s home burned to hell. I sure hope the Red Cross can find them a place to stay.
