An RV suffered extensive damage in Maryland when an unexpected fire sparked in the engine block of the vehicle.

A 1994 Overland Class A RV parked in Charles County on Jimmy Greens Place in La Plata went up in flames shortly before 12:15 p.m. on Friday, June 24, according to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

The fire sparked in the engine compartment, which quickly spread to other parts of the vehicle after being reported to officials by the RV’s owner.

It took approximately 10 firefighters from the Bryans Road Volunteer Fire Department an estimated 20 minutes to knock down the flames, which caused $20,000 in damage, officials said.

It is unclear what caused the fire, which remains under investigation.

Anyone with information regarding the incident has been asked to contact the Office of the State Fire Marshal's Southern Regional Office, by calling (443) 550-6835.
