One person suffered burns in a fire that started in a trailer next to a North Little Rock restaurant and catering business.

The fire to the mobile catering trailer parked beside Sista Girls Soul Food Cafe at 324 E. 13th St. was extinguished before 7:30 a.m., though eastbound traffic on 13th Street remained blocked then.

One employee suffered burns to an arm and leg, police said. He was conscious as he was loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher.

Police said it appeared a propane tank in the trailer had been left on.

The fire was contained to the trailer, and the structure itself was not damaged.
