Sad, but I'm very thankful that no one was injured !! Kinda makes me want to turn off the LP at the tank when I drive.
The photos on the FB link look like the fire was from the Fridge aft........
Unless it was an all-electric coach, the Fridge and hot water heater may have been running on LP.
I don't really see how you can say it's necessarily from the fridge. Certainly the fire does appear to be from something in the rear half of the coach, but that also includes tires, brakes, and engine problems--all of which are relatively high on the list of causes of RV fires. (For that matter, an electrical short could occur most anywhere in the RV, too.)
One would expect that the area around an absorption fridge installation would burn quickly since it has a nice chimney arrangement that provides a good draft.
