Fire destroys recreational vehicle in Finley

FINLEY – Benton County Fire District No.1 was dispatched to a reported recreational vehicle fire at 39604 S 2180 PR SE just before 4 p.m. today (Sunday) just off of Bowles Road.

Captain Ron Fryer said the trailer was being used as a primary residence, but the resident was not home. The first fire engine on the scene found the trailer fully involved with crews arrived. Due to a quick knockdown, the fire did not spread to other exposures. The trailer was a total loss.

No injuries were reported, and the cause is not known at this time. The fire was declared under control at 4:38 p.m. Fryer said there were four fire engines on the scene with 12 firefighters. All fire units were cleared from the fire scene at 6:00 p.m.
