Joshua Tree firefighters have called in an arson investigator after a cargo trailer caught fire Friday. Firefighters were called to the blaze at 12:18 p.m. in the 6100 block of Park Boulevard where a small storage trailer had caught fire. County Fire Captain Jay Dimoff said they had the fire out in about three minutes. The fire started outside the trailer and the cause is suspicious because there are no electrical lines to the trailer. In addition, firefighters learned that a resident said she was going to burn the trailer because her girlfriend was gone too long shopping. He added that the resident was lucky that the winds were calm as it could have easily spread to nearby vegetation or the house.
