A fire at a trailer park in central Salina early Saturday morning is being investigated as arson.

Firefighters and police were dispatched at approximately 4:25 a.m. Saturday to what was reported as a large fire behind the Great Wall Chinese restaurant, 641 S. Broadway Boulevard, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The fire actually was in a trailer in the northwest part of the trailer park addressed at 1200 W. Crawford, which is to the east of the restaurant.

No one was living in the trailer at the time, he said.

Salina Fire Department personnel told police that there was a strong odor of gasoline at the back of the trailer. A red plastic gas container that still smelled of gasoline was found nearby, Forrester said.

Damage was estimated at $5,000. The property is owned by Rickey Pace, 63, of Colorado, Forrester said.
