MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Fire officials say four mobile homes have burned in a trailer park that has been closed and abandoned since last year's flood.

The Shelby County Fire Department responded Tuesday night to a fire at the Countryview Mobile Home Park, in northeast Memphis. More than 20 firefighters took about one hour to put the blaze under control. No injuries were reported.

An engine company returned to the trailer park Wednesday to make sure there were no further fire dangers.

The fire is the fourth at the trailer park since the April 2011 flood, which forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents after the low-lying development was inundated by water that overflowed the banks of a Mississippi River tributary.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fires.
