Firefighters Combat La Mesa RV Fire

Nearly 80 firefighters were busy fighting a second-alarm fire last week at a Phoenix RV dealership in Arizona.

According to Cpt. Jake Van Hook with the Phoenix Fire Department, somewhere between 60 to 80 firefighters responded to the blaze at La Mesa RV near 75th Avenue and McDowell Road.

The fire was concentrated in a separate building at the dealership complex. La Mesa RV said in a statement that the fire appeared to start in or on the roof area of their delivery center portion of the property.

All other operations at the facility were not affected and La Mesa RV will return to normal with the opening of business on Friday morning, according to the statement.

The initial arriving crews began an offensive attack on the fire after breaching some rolled up doors. Once inside, they found dense smoke which made it challenging to find the source of the fire with the poor visibility.

In addition, exterior crews reported the fire coming through the roof. Thus, the decision was made to go defensive.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
