My guess: They were driving along and noticed the toad catch on fire in the rear view camera and pulled over to call the FD/PD.

Until they stopped the wind caused by forward motion prevented any damage to the coach. Once they stopped, however, the toad fire burned unchecked while they waited for FD/PD to show up. As toad fire burned the heat (and perhaps some embers) from said fire started to melt and sear the rear of the coach, maybe even lighting it on fire just as said FD/PD arrive to put the whole thing out.

Also a possibilty that the wind direction was from the rear so that once they stopped the fire was blown into the coach...

Sounds good to me, but the reality is we will probably never know for sure unless someone in the tow yard films a video like the mechanic did for the blown engine/transmission with the jeep left in gear.
