(KNZA)--An early Tuesday morning Hiawatha RV fire sent the owner to the hospital.
That's according to a release from Hiawatha Fire Chief Patrick Sheldon, who says his department “was dispatched to an RV on fire located at 207 South 12th Street” around 3:45 Tuesday morning.
The RV was found by the arriving crews to be fully engulfed in flames, with Sheldon saying they “were able to extinguish the fire before it spread to a nearby garage.”
The RV's owner, identified by family members as Russ Stover, was able to evacuate the burning structure and was treated at Hiawatha- Amberwell Health for what Sheldon calls “unknown injuries.”
Sheldon said the Robinson Fire Department was requested for mutual aid, but was canceled upon the fire being contained.
The Brown County Rescue Squad and the Hiawatha Police Department assisted at the scene.
The Kansas State Fire Marshals Office will investigate the cause of the fire.
