Const. Mckayla Cotey of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said there were no injuries and says two residents escaped the trailer.
However, a dog was unable to make it out and died in the fire.
The three residents who lived in the trailer will stay with family as the trailer was a total loss.
An investigation revealed the cause of the fire was a propane heater, she said, adding it was not considered suspicious.
Firefighters will remain on scene to douse hot spots if they ignite, Cotey said.
