BEND, OR -- A motorhome caught fire in Juniper Ridge Wednesday morning, destroying an encampment. Bend Fire responded to multiple calls and crews were able to stop the flames from spreading to neighboring camps.

Firefighters took more than an hour to fully extinguish the fire, due to the extent of what had burned. 

It was caused by a failed heater, which allowed the propane tank to ignite. One motorhome, two vehicles and an adjacent tarped area were destroyed. But the person who lived there escaped unhurt. Losses are estimated at $20,000.
