THE O-M-I WILL DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF ONE PERSON FOLLOWING AN R-V FIRE IN ALBUQUERQUE TUESDAY NIGHT. CREWS WERE SENT TO THE 92-HUNDRED BLOCK OF CENTRAL SOUTHWEST AND, UPON ARRIVAL, FOUND SMOKE AND FLAMES IN THE VEHICLE. THE VICTIM WAS FOUND AFTER FIREFIGHTERS WERE ABLE TO SEARCH THE RV.
CAPTAIN JASON GARCIA SAYS FIRES LIKE THIS PRESENT UNIQUE PROBLEMS. HE SAYS FIREFIGHTERS HAVE CONCERNS WITH RV FIRES BECAUSE THEY’RE DEALING WITH FUELS LIKE GASOLINE AND DIESEL AND LPG GAS. THERE’S ALSO THE FACT THAT RVs INCLUDE A MOTOR.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND NO I-D HAS BEEN RELEASED.
