PANAMA CITY — Florida fire investigators charged a juvenile boy with arson Saturday for allegedly setting a semitrailer on fire at a business at 2630 Twilight Ave.
Bay County firefighters responded at noon to the fire that started with cardboard boxes and then spread to the National brand trailer. Firefghter Brian Welborn said it took about five minutes to extinguish the blaze.
“There was no damage to the building. Nobody was hurt,” Welborn said.
Dwan Phoenix, an employee for Peaden Air-conditioning, which owns the warehouse building where the trailer was parked, moved several trucks out of the way to keep the fire from spreading.
The boy was caught nearby after the fire.
“It was just some kid being a kid,” Phoenix said.
