11-December-2017 – Camper Fire – “B” Shift

Incident # 17-08487 – A small camper located at a hunting lodge caught fire Monday evening 11-December. Persons nearby heard an explosion and found the camper ablaze. They called 9-1-1 and located a garden hose to begin to extinguish the fire. Engine 19 arrived a short time later to find smoke coming from the camper. Firefighters removed several cabinets and extinguished the remaining fire inside the structure. The fire appears to have started from a propane powered device in the kitchen area. The camper suffered substantial damage. The man with the garden hose contained the flames and kept the fire from spreading to two other nearby campers. Units were on the scene for an hour.

Engine 5, Engine 19, Tender 19, Tender 26, Battalion 1 and Car 118 responded. Captain Blaine Harrison served as Incident Commander.
