This story comes from Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The story...
" An Indiana couple’s RV caught fire at a Barrow Street gas station Wednesday,
burning for about a half hour as spilled fuel and a propane tank on the vehicle
fed the flames. "

The RV involved in the Fire was not a Fifth Wheel or a Trailer, but was a class B van type. It could happen to anyone who accidently spills gasoline when filling a vehicle. The story states that no one was injured.
Stories of fires at gas stations appear from time to time. Several causes I'm sure, Smoking while fueling, using a cell phone I've read about, static electric spark, plastic bed liners & plastic fuel containers.
Just something to keep in mind while your pulling into a Gas Station. Something to remember to do if your one who travels with the Fridge running on propane.
Stay Safe Heartlanders ! Make this a accident free year.
