Crews arrived on scene to find four fifth-wheel style RVs on fire, three of which were fully involved. According to HCFR, crews deployed handlines to battle the fires and controlled it within 30 minutes of arriving. 

Six RVs in total were damaged either, including indirect flame and smoke damage. HCFR told FOX 13 that the RVs were just waiting on the lot to be sold. The challenge came in how close they were parked together.
