CHARLESTON, Ore.- Charleston Fire District responded to a report of a structure fire at 92252 Cape Arago Hwy Space 14 at about 8 p.m. Saturday night.

Firefighters were able to control the blaze in 10 minutes.

The RV residents, Machelle and Mark Hubbard were able to get out of the vehicle without injuries.

Mystic Wood RV Park owners, Ralph and Judy Hants say unfortunately the couple was unable to save any items from their home. "It was really, really, really a miracle that they even got out but both got out, unfortunately all they got out with was a small dog, the clothes on their back and they did manage to move their car," says Judy.

Fire officials say the fire was caused by deteriorated electrical wiring in the ceiling of the RV.

The occupants say it was their smoke alarm that alerted them to the fire.
 
Charleston Fire Dept. wants to remind folks that a working smoke alarm can save lives.
