A cooking turkey left unattended in an oven caused a trailer fire in View Royal on Christmas Day.

View Royal firefighters were called to the Fort Victoria RV Park at 3:40 p.m. after neighbours spotted smoke coming from the trailer.

Firefighters had the flames out quickly but the trailer suffered some smoke damage.

The residents will be aided by Emergency Social Services, which will arrange for them to stay in a hotel for three nights.

“It’s another ad for not leaving your cooking unattended,” said fire chief Paul Hurst. “That turkey will be inedible.”
