UPDATE: 1 taken to hospital following RV fire in Ellison

At least one person might be suffering from smoke inhalation

UPDATE: 12:15 p.m.

Ellison Fire Chief David Bates said it appears someone was outside of the RV trailer when the fire started and they tried to put water on the flames before crews arrived. 

When firefighters got to the scene, visible smoke and flame were coming from the trailer. 

“So, we came in and extinguished the fire and cleared it out, “ said Bates. “There is fire and smoke damage to various areas of the trailer and it’s probably not livable at this point. “

The resident and the dogs left the scene before fire crews arrived and Bates did not have an update on their condition. 

The cause of the blaze is not yet known. 


UPDATE: 11:09 a.m.

Smoke and flame could still be seen coming from an RV trailer at 4851 Rockface Road in Ellison when fire crews arrived on scene. 

However, crews were able to quickly knock down the fire. 

Two Ellison Fire Department trucks responded to the scene along with about 10 firefighters. 

At least one person has been taken to hospital with smoke inhalation. It's believed the dogs may also need emergency veterinarian care. 

A large propane tank was also close to the RV trailer at the time of the fire, which was cause for concern. 

The RV suffered serious damage in the incident.

There are reports one person and two dogs were possibly inside at the time and may be suffering from smoke inhalation. 

A Capital News reporter is headed to the scene and this story will be updated as more information becomes available.
