The investigation into the trailer fire that killed Pablo resident Trisha Plant is still underway.

Polson Fire Chief John Fairchild is one of the investigators on the fire, and  said "that the cause of the fire is still under investigation, what I can tell you at this time is there wasn't any electricity going into the building at the time of the fire and the fire started in the bedroom."    

Fire fighters were able to contain the that started at 3:15 a.m. in the morning on September 30th from spreading to surrounding structures. 

It was extinguished quickly before a nearby house that had caught fire could be seriously damaged.


Authorities released the name of a 22-year old Lake County woman killed in an early Wednesday morning trailer fire.

The Lake County Sheriff's Department says Trisha-Jo Marie Plantit was found dead after a fire gutted her home in Pablo at about 3:00 clock Wednesday morning.

By the time firefighters got there, flames fully engulfed the single-wide trailer. At first, they thought the trailer was unoccupied but later found the victim's body inside.

Investigators don't suspect foul play, but don't know what started the fire.
