5/4 - Fire leaves one dead

ADDISON, Pa. — One person died in a fire that destroyed a trailer in Somerset County early Sunday, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

A state police dispatcher acknowledged the agency was investigating the incident, but declined to provide additional information Sunday night because the trooper handling the probe had not filed a report.

Volunteer fire departments from Addison, Farmington, Markleysburg and Friendsville sent units to the 1:43 a.m. blaze on Sarvast Road, Addison.

An officer with the Friendsville department said the fire was in a trailer with a garage and his department cleared the scene at 6:05 a.m.

Calls to the Addison Volunteer Fire Department went unanswered Sunday night.
