SALISBURY — There have been two separate fires in RVs in the city in two days, one of which was used as a primary residence.
A fire in an RV in the 400 block of Gallimore Road was reported after 10:30 a.m. June 25 and the first callers said the structure was already fully involved. Two residents and four dogs were displaced in that fire that totally destroyed the structure, and Red Cross is assisting the family.
That fire was caused, according to reports, by an electrical issue involving a gas-powered generator.
