An overnight fire in Great Falls destroyed a residence, but fortunately there were no injuries.

Last evening at 12:35 am a trailer house was reported on fire at 1436 8th Ave NW. Great Falls Fire Rescues C-Platoon’s Battalion 1, Engine 2, Engine 3, Engine 4, and Ladder 3 were dispatched at 12:36 am.
