Dangerous Excitement

We had a bit of excitement in the campground yesterday, as a nearby coach caught fire. Apparently, one of the occupants of the coach put the grill from the previous night under the back end of the coach for storage thinking that the coals were not hot. Some time later a neighbor looked out and saw flames and let everyone know. We were out on the water and all of sudden so many sirens were heard that we both remarked it reminds us of Woodward Ave at home. At any rate, the fire was put out by neighbors with fire extinguishers and waterhoses before the fire department arrived, and most importantly no one was hurt. Fire in a trailer or coach can be pretty fast moving, that coupled with fuel and LP tanks located right where the fire was is as dangerous as it gets. I've attached a picture for you to see.
