One man suffered a minor injury after fire and explosions were reported in Naples on Thursday.

The Naples Fire Department reported explosions and wires down in the area of 162 Gore Road on Thursday afternoon. That knocked out power to about 900 Central Maine Power customers in the Naples-Sebago area.

According to CBS 13 news, a single-wide trailer was involved, with the fire spreading to nearby woods.

The fire chief said one man was inside the trailer at the time of the fire. He suffered a minor burn on his back but was treated at the scene and didn’t need to go to the hospital.

We’re awaiting further details about the fire.
