VIDEO: A fire demolished two recreational vehicles and two automobiles Tuesday afternoon in Sierra Vista RV Park west of Casa Grande.
The fire could have been a whole lot worse.
Steven Kerber, founder and chief of Regional Fire & Rescue Department, said the park is not in a protected fire district. Regional Fire was called at 5:12 p.m. after everyone else refused to fight it, according to Kerber.
“It is not in our response area,” he said. “We had to make a judgment call, and we had to call manpower into the station to help cover the station. We were a little delayed in getting out the door by four minutes or so, until we confirmed that someone was on the way. That’s what we have to do when responding to an out-of-the-area fire call.”
