A large sales lot with an estimated 400 to 500 RVs, 100 of them were completely destroyed with many others extensively damaged, resulting in millions in damages.<\/p><p>The original article states, <em>\u201cOfficials are unclear as to what exactly started the fire. However, there\u2019s a good chance it resulted from an electrical failure in one of the RVs. With the RVs packed so tightly together, a fire in a single RV would quickly spread in a domino-like path. It\u2019s a real challenge to stop a fire like that once it gets going.&nbsp;&nbsp;Electrical fires are common occurrences in RVs, especially as wires and sensitive components corrode from moisture or water damage.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>Recent flooding in the area made it even more difficult for the approximately 40 firefighters who battled the fire, having to navigate around high-voltage power lines over the lot.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dab7xUWjR-M\"><strong>Video Captures the Devastation a Fire can Cause an RV Dealership or Campground in a Matter of Minutes.<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/drivinvibin.com\/2021\/12\/09\/rv-dealership-fire\/?utm_source=convertkit&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Chain+Reaction+Fire+Claims+100+RVs%20-%207161649\"><strong>Read the entire Drivin\u2019 &amp; Vibin\u2019 article here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p>There are a few ways to prevent RV fires, especially in colder months.
