About three weeks ago, a new Mountaineer RV burnt to the ground in our park. We have been living in the park about 150 feet from this rig but were traveling in our 5th wheel when the fire happened.
According to the park manager, the guy that owned the Mountaineer had put a pop-tart in the toaster. The tart apparently got jammed in the toaster and the guy thought his toaster wasn't working. Rather than unplug the toaster and/or get the pop tart out, he left and went into town for breakfast. While he was gone, the pop tart caught fire and within 10 minutes the entire rig was on fire. The Fire Marshall said the pop tart shot flames five feet in the air.....Yikes.
The intensity of the fire also destroyed a neighbor's 5th wheel....however, the park manager hasn't been able to locate the owner. They haven't been here in over a year and none of the phone numbers are any good. The rent is paid every month though.
I downloaded a few pictures on photobucket.
Hope this link works:
