Motorhome fire spreads to vegetation in East Del Paso Heights

HAVE IT. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO GO TO SOME BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW. LIVECOPTER3 IS OVER. THIS RV FIRE. LOOK AT THAT. THE LOCATION FROM THIS IS I-80 AND PARNELL STREET. THAT’S KIND OF NEAR THE YOUNG HEIGHTS AREA IN THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO AREA. SO JUST SOUTH OF NORTH HIGHLANDS, WE’LL CALL THIS DEL PASO HEIGHTS NORTH SACRAMENTO FOR NOW, AS WE’RE WAITING TO GET THAT EXACT LOCATION. BUT YOU CAN SEE THIS IS JUST OFF I-80 RIGHT NOW. THAT RV FIRE HAS A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE TOP. SO IF YOU’RE ON BUSINESS 80, IF YOU’RE ON I-80, YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE THIS FOR A GOOD DISTANCE. LOOKS LIKE FIREFIGHTERS JUST GOT TO THE SCENE. THEY’RE USING A SAW TO CUT OFF. IS THAT WHAT THAT IS? YEAH PROBABLY TO VENT SOME HOLES THERE. AND THE PROBLEM WELL THE CHALLENGE I SHOULD SAY WITH THESE KINDS OF FIRES IS THERE’S SO MANY COMPONENTS INSIDE THOSE VEHICLES HAVE FIBERGLASS, DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLASTICS. SO YEAH, THERE’S ALL KINDS OF FUEL TOXIC FUEL AND GASOLINE TO IF THERE’S PROPANE TANKS IN THERE. ABSOLUTELY. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT’S STILL A MOTOR VEHICLE. SO THERE IS THAT TO CONTEND WITH. AND IT’S JUST INTERESTING WHERE IT’S SITUATED TO BRITTANY BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT THERE NEXT TO THE OVERPASS. WE HAVE SEEN AND UNFORTUNATE LANDMARK. NOW, AS YOU SEE, A LOT OF RVS THAT ARE PARKED FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE HOMES AND SOMETIMES THEY’RE OFF TO ON A SIDE ROAD. BUT THIS IS KIND OF IN A MORE OPEN AREA HERE. SO YOU WONDER IF THE VEHICLE HAD BROKEN DOWN OR IF SOMEBODY ACTUALLY WAS MAYBE CAMPING THERE, OR IF IT JUST SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE THERE AND THEY PULLED OVER. RIGHT. IT’S JUST HARD TO TELL. I DO SEE IN THE DISTANCE THERE, THERE WERE A FEW TIRES THAT WERE KIND OF HANGING OUT NEARBY, AND THERE IS A BREAK IN THAT FENCE. SO I’M CURIOUS IF MAYBE THERE WERE SOME FOLKS WHO WERE STAYING THERE ALONG THE INTERSTATE, WHICH WE DO SEE OFTEN, AND THEN WE SEE THESE RVS. BUT LOOK AT THAT. THEY’RE BREAKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS. I THINK YOU’RE EXACTLY RIGHT, GOLSTON. THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO GET THAT AIR IN THERE BECAUSE THIS THING IS NOT GOING OUT. THAT’S A LOT OF SMOKE. YOU JUST WORRY FOR THOSE CREWS, THOUGH. I MEAN, I KNOW THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING. THEY’RE THE EXPERTS. BUT WE KNOW WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S INSIDE THIS THING. WHAT THEY’RE WINNING. AND THAT WINDOW LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BOARDED UP. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK THE BOARD OUT. LOOKS LIKE THAT WOULD NORMALLY POSSIBLE. OR ACTUALLY, I TAKE THAT BACK. THAT’S NOT THE WHERE A WINDOW WAS. THEY ACTUALLY CUT THROUGH THE SKIN OF THE RV. AND THEN THERE ARE SOME BOARD, SOME KIND OF INSULATION BEHIND IT. AND THAT’S WHY THEY’RE CUTTING IN THERE TO TO TRY TO VENT IT OUT. AND WE DON’T HAVE ANY WORD YET OF WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THIS OCCUPANTS. UM, AND WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANYONE ON THE SCENE, ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE’S, THERE’S A FIREFIGHTER INSIDE. DO YOU SEE THAT INSIDE? YEAH, I THINK THAT’S A FIREFIGHTER INSIDE WHO SEEMS TO BE DIGGING OUT BECAUSE I SAW SOME SORT OF NEON REFLECTION. YES. OKAY. YOU CAN SEE THE ARM. THEY’RE KIND OF DIGGING STUFF OUT. I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT PERSON GOT IN THERE. UM, BUT JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE, OUT THE BACK, YOU CAN SEE THAT FIREFIGHTER IS RIGHT NEXT TO ACTIVE FLAME INSIDE. SO THIS IS PRETTY SCARY. TOTAL LOSS. AND THEN A BIG DISTRACTION FOR DRIVERS ON I-80 BECAUSE PEOPLE TEND TO SLOW DOWN. SO THAT MIGHT MESS WITH THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE FOR SOME PE
