Motor Homes On Fire

This motorhome had just caught fire in its engine compartment when a passerby with a video camera stopped across the highway, where he described the situation. The RV was burning about one mile north of Wikieup, Arizona (about 2 1/2 hours northwest of Phoenix). He wrote: "I arrived on scene about one minute after it started; I looked in my trunk to see if by chance I had an extinguisher, which I didn't. A truck driver stopped three minutes after I did and tried his extinguisher. By then, however, the entire engine was engulfed and his efforts did no good. I started this video about seven minutes after the fire started, and drove off two minutes later after determining there was nothing I could do to assist."

The Ventura, California Fire Department jump on an RV fire along U.S. 101 The RVing couple and their dog escaped without harm. Here again, we see a relatively new motorhome burning up. It's not just the old junkers that go up in flames.

In the opening moments of this video, you see smoke pouring out the door of the luxury motorcoach, with firemen all around. It appears the fire will be stopped fast. Then, from out of nowhere come flames and then an explosion. At one point a bystander says there was an injury, but you can't really tell.

This motorhome has made its last trip. Smoke obscures the motorhome for the first part of this video. But as you can see when it clears, this RV is a goner.
