THOR #13409
RV Sales Lot on Fire

This is from a RV dealer's lot in Abbotsford, British Columbia - just outside Vancouver. They believe there are over 200 RVs at that location. To compound the problem, that area has been flooded by strong rain storms. Fire fighters are having trouble getting to the fire.

West Coast Flood and BIG RV fire

This is crazy, although it sounds like no customer owned RV's were involved. They were all stored close to together on the lot.

That's gonna leave a mark!
I didn't see any mention of a suspected cause...

A head-scratcher…
- massive flooding & winds in the northwest
- meanwhile a fire erupts at an RV holding facility

Given the flood, shorted electronics seems like a possibility ...

Maybe they will find the remains of a thief under one of the coach's with a torch who was trying to steal a catalytic cinverter.
