We had some more rain last night.
We noticed some fire engines on the next road over from us. It seems that a little before 5 AM some friends of our heard a load pot in their motorhome. When they got up to see what was going on, they noticed smoke and so they hurried out and the outside was in flames by the refrigerator.
They were only able to get a few things out and by then the fire department was there trying to put out the fire. From what I saw, what the fire and smoke didn't destroy. the water did.

The fire engine was there almost 8 hours periodically spraying things and tearing down the ceiling and some of the walls trying to get all of the fire out.
Our friend, Fred, seemed to be in shock over loosing the motorhome and all their belongings.
We offered them a bedroom in our home, but one of our neighbors have a separate building with bedroom and bathroom which they offered them so they could have some privacy which they wouldn't get if they stayed with us.
They are working with their insurance company and I'm sure it will be totaled.
The cause of the fire was certainly caused by their Norcold refrigerator. I have seen lots of pictures of RV burned up by them. That is the reason our fifth wheel has a residential refrigerator.
We hope our friends will be OK.
Thanks for visiting.
Wow that's scary. Those Norcold refrigerators have caused more damage. How sad for them. Hope they are able to get a new rig quickly. I'm thankful you guys have a residential fridge. Me too!!
ReplyDeleteThose Norcold's are KILLERS, and the manufacturer KNOWS IT and does little to nothing about it. They are LUCKY to be alive.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter lives in SLC, was 18-20 miles from the epicenter, it was real hard on her. Thank goodness no injuries and light damage considering the size of the Earthquake.
