Members of the LaVale Volunteer Fire Department responded to the 12700 block of Gramlich Road in Cumberland at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, when there was a reported vehicle fire that randomly broke out.

Upon arrival, crews found a 2007 Forest River 377CKDS Toy Hauler on fire on the property after smoke alarms failed to activate inside the vehicle, officials said.

A crew of five firefighters reportedly took approximately five minutes to extinguish the fire, which began in a storage area under the bathroom due to a malfunction of a power inverter inside the RV.

Officials said that the fire caused approximately $25,000 in damage to the RV, which was not in use at the time the blaze broke out.

No injuries were reported, and the fire was determined to be accidental. No suspicious activity was reported.
