BRADY TWP — A fire at Moraine Camplands in Brady Township badly damaged or destroyed five trailers early this morning.

“It looks like a war zone,” said Chief Nathan Wulff of the Unionville Volunteer Fire Department in the blaze's aftermath.

Two of the campers were believed to be occupied when the fire broke out shortly before 4 a.m., but no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known. The state police fire marshal was called to investigate.

The initial 911 call came in at 3:56 a.m. for a fire at one of the campers at the campgrounds on Staff Road, about 1½ miles west of Route 8.

“But then it spread,” Wulff said. “The campers are packed in real tight, about 10 feet apart.”

Several trailers were in flames by the time the fire crew arrived.

Slippery Rock, Prospect and West Sunbury volunteer firefighters were part of the first response.

“We just got a bunch of people and a bunch of (hose) lines going,” Wulff said.

But soon five other departments were called in to supply tankers. There are no hydrants at the campground.

A fill site using Muddy Creek was set up for the tankers on Muddy Creek Drive about three or four miles away. The blaze was contained in about 45 minutes.

“Three campers were totally destroyed,” Wulff said, “and two were heavily damaged.” A damage estimate was not available.

The two camp residents who were there and lost their property were having a difficult time understanding what happened, fire officials said.

“They're pretty much in a state of shock,” Wulff said.
