MEDINA, Tenn. — Dispatch was called around 9:23 Monday morning, near East Church Street in Medina, after flames were reported to have been coming out of a trailer home.

First responders from the Medina, Gibson County and Milan Fire Departments assisted in the fire, which took eight minutes to put out.
