FEMA disaster relief trailers in storage.
A new staging area for wildfire disaster trailers has rumors flying and has attracted visitors armed with guns.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has about a hundred trailers set aside for wildfire survivors from Jackson County.
It originally had those trailers staged at the Jackson County Fairgrounds, known as the Expo, as officials looked for potential housing sites nearby. But they recently had to relocate them three hours away to an old mill in Gardiner, which is on the coast north of Reedsport.
Since then, FEMA officials say they’ve been fielding phone calls from locals concerned about the trailers’ sudden appearance.
