The trailer was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, said Adel Fire Chief Jimmy Walker.

Smoke from the blaze could be seen from as far south as north Lowndes County.

At 1:30 p.m., the trailer looked like a total loss.

No one was known to be living in the trailer, but neighbors said they had seen people coming in and out of the property Sunday morning, Weeks said.

No one was injured in the blaze, Walker said.

Firefighters were still working the scene Sunday afternoon, the assistant chief said.

The cause of the fire was not known, Weeks said.
