An RV in a Hiawatha residential area was destroyed in an early morning fire Tuesday.
Fire Chief Patrick Sheldon reported that the call came in at 3:46 a.m. as the fire department was dispatched to an RV on fire at 207 S. 12th St.
"Upon arrival, the RV was fully engulfed," Sheldon said "Crews were able to extinguish the fire before spreading to a nearby garage."
The owner, identified by family members as Russ Stover, was able to evacuate the RV and was treated at HCH. His son, Jeremy Stover, said his father had a couple of small flash burns, but for the most part is OK. He said he was able to escape with the clothes he had on and his small bag of medicine that was near the door.
A specific cause has not been determined and the fire marshal will be on site to investigate.
