Two fires in Canada have completely destroyed recreational vehicles.

Fire in Carleton Place

On Sunday morning, a vintage 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon was destroyed by fire in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant in Carleton Place, Ontario. Fire services responded. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Fire on Westside Road

On Friday evening, a motorhome was completely destroyed by fire on Westside Road, north of the Wilson’s Landing fire hall. The fire started before 5:45 p.m., and arriving firefighters extinguished it within five minutes, but the vehicle was not salvageable. The owner was on scene; preliminary reports indicate the fire was accidental. Due to dry weather and high temperatures, firefighters are concerned about the risk of further fires.
