At approximately 4:20 p.m. the afternoon of April 24, several units were dispatched to the Riverview RV Resort located at 2000 Ramar Rd. for the report of a mobile home fire. Arriving units were met by the homeowners who had evacuated the home. Ladder 721s crew reported light smoke coming from the back of the mobile. Pulling an attack line firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the fire quickly. Crew members then used the TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera) over the roof area to check for any additional hot spots.
Thankfully the home was equipped with working smoke alarms which sounded and alerted the occupants of the fire that was outside to the rear of the structure. There were no injuries reported during the incident. Mohave Electric Company (MEC) responded to secure the utilities, and all units were cleared from the scene.
Battalion Chief Livermore requested a fire investigator to respond, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.
