The holiday season made for a very busy workload for area first responders going into the new year.
Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Services Chief Scott Lewis said crews responded to a residence on Blosser Ranch Road on Christmas Eve for a reported motorhome fire just before 5:30 p.m.
“There were initial concerns that there was discharging ammunition within the structure, and it was also relayed that there may have been a dog bite that occurred on the property,” Lewis said. “We arrived on location and found a fully-involved motorhome, which was actually used as a fixed structure. An automobile, which was closely parked next to the motorhome was also involved in fire. The primary residence was protected by crews shortly after their arrival on location.”
Lewis also said crews quickly got control of the fire and extinguished it within roughly 20 minutes after their arrival.
