No injuries in RV blaze

KINGMAN – Some may have seen a large column of black smoke billowing from the desert north of Kingman Tuesday, Jan. 24. Personnel aboard the Northern Arizona Fire District (NAFD) Engine 311 spotted the smoke at 8:50 a.m. when returning to base from Kingman Regional Medical Center.

Chief Dennis Hoke said crews followed the smoke plume to a remote area north of the fire district and discovered a fully involved RV.

“The fire was extinguished to prevent spread. No one was on site and no injuries reported,” Hoke said. He said the fire was confined to the RV and its cause is undetermined.
