Another night meant another structure fire to be dealt with by Jones County firefighters.
Two people were injured in a camper fire, the fourth structure fire in Jones County during the first three days of the new year.
The fire was called in just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday from 69 Warsaw Camp Loop in the Rustin community.
Michael and Pamela Maroz were staying in the camper at the address temporarily and reported that their camper “blew up” and “blew them out of the camper.”
Upon arrival, firefighters found the large camper fully engulfed. Firefighters worked quickly to contain the blaze, which also had surrounded a couple of small propane tanks.
The fire was extinguished without incident, though the camper was a total loss. Rustin, Sandersville, Glade, M & M and Powers volunteer fire departments responded to the scene, as did deputies from the Jones County Sheriff’s Office.
