Coach Fire
One of our neighbors here at the Outdoor Resorts in St. Lucie West had their 202 Monaco Signature go up in flames.
At about 7:00 am a week ago Friday, the owner awakened to what he described as a "fog" in the coach, and went outside to investigate. What he found was the engine compartment ablaze. He did not remember any smoke alarm going off.
As you can see, the engine compartment suffered the most severe damage, but the inside looks just as bad. No real answer as to what started the fire as the engine was off, yet we all know that certain engine components still retain electric current, which is the suspect cause.
It is interesting to note that in the middle of the fire, apparently as insulation was burning off some wiring, the engine actually started cranking over! Didn't last long but a real attention getter!
This guy takes meticulous care of his coach. Always serviced, even the most minor issues taken care of. They are full-timers and this is a serious blow to their lifestyle.
