Man and his dog escape RV fire

The recreational vehicle alight at San Remo

A man and his dog lost everything when their recreational vehicle burnt out after suddenly exploding into flames.

Firefighters and other emergency services were called to the carpark at Northlakes Tavern, San Remo, on Saturday, January 13, following reports of a recreational bus alight.

The fast response from the professional Fire and Rescue crews from Hamlyn Terrace and Doyalson prevented other vehicles in the carpark and the car wash next door from catching fire.

One of the firefighters said it was great to see the community spirit with people giving assistance of food and water to the man and dog who had a lucky escape but lost everything in the fire.
