RV Goes Up in Flames in Southern Smith County

WHITEHOUSE An RV has been destroyed on Highway 110 South in Smith County after an unknown source sparked a fire inside the vehicle. According to KETK, around 11:30 Friday morning, a Whitehouse volunteer firefighter spotted smoke in the air and began to search for the cause. After a short time, he found an RV burning in the 15000 block of Highway 110 near Toll 49. He quickly called for backup and notified the owners.

According to Smith County Assistant Fire Marshal Oren Hale, the RV was plugged into an electrical source underneath a carport at the time of the blaze. Hale said a malfunction of sorts caused the fire to start, but the exact cause could not be determined due to the vehicle burning. He was able to pinpoint the origin of flames in the living quarters, located in the right center area. The fire was put out close to noon. No injuries were reported.
