Title: Compassion - Fires and the Consequences
TexasJeff said: "

Compassion: There are a number of things that drop put of this article that are very important. Not many of you have interviewed or been told about an RV fire like we have. I have compassion, I have a very hard time listening to someone crying without my eyes watering. This is called empathy, which turns into compassion.
1) Trauma:
"
recovering from traumatic injury due to a severe fire and explosion that occurred on their bus-turned-RV on Dec. 27, 2021."
Please note in the following two posts, trauma is reported:

2) There Home:
"
a life of travel—free of the weight of mortgage and home ownership."
Thus, almost everything they owned went up in smoke.
3) Their Sweet and Tears:
"
The Copelands purchased a retired bus from a Washington company in March 2019 for $15,000 and, in their backyard, gutted it down to the bones."
I do not know about you, but I can see hard work and craftsmanship here. This is nothing more than a major accomplishment! The whole time in construction, the dreams of where they go and what they do went up in smoke
4) Loss:
"
Krew, and the eldest daughter, Pepper, stood stunned in the back of the bus between the bunkbeds. Kyle ran into the flames and pulled his two children out."
Although things worked out well enough, anyone that knows about fires, there could have very well been 3 people that died, this is a fact.
Anyone that is a naysayer about RV fires has very little compassion for the victims. I do not care if 1 person is a victim, or 10,000, if something could be done to prevent that one victim tragedy, it should be done.
The cause of the fire most likely will be unknown. This is due to the way fires are handled regarding RVs most of the time.
Thanks iRV2 for your commitment to helping RVers remain safe
