It was 113 degrees outside when firefighters battled a blaze that engulfed a single-wide trailer in Mecca Saturday.

The fire was reported at 2:52 p.m. Saturday in the 94700 block of Avenue 50, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

A second-alarm was requested due to the excessive heat, fire officials said.

Firefighters had the fire out within an hour and remained on the scene for a few more hours to make sure all hot spots were out, officials said.

The American Red Cross was requested to help displaced residents find lodging.
