Lit candle starts camper fire

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - A maintenance crew member working on Gladstone Street in Idaho Falls saw smoke spewing from the windows of a trailer home. 

The Idaho Falls Fire Department responded to the call.

The fire was contained moments after firefighters arrived at 10:19 A.M Monday morning.

No one was inside at the time, the fire department is working on locating the owner.

The fire department says a lit candle left unattended fell onto the bed and started the fire.
