At 11:48 a.m. Thursday, Turlock Fire Engine 31 responded to reports of an RV engulfed in flames. Engine 33 and Battalion Chief 4 were added to the call as firefighters arrived to find the fire spreading toward a nearby grass field.

Tragically, three dogs perished in the fire. The Red Cross is assisting two adults and three children who had been living in the motorhome.
