Occupied RV Fire

If heater was a low priced coil or wire style, it still could have been pretty hot, and depending on what it was sitting on, could easily start a fire.

That's sad. And I doubt she has adequate insurance to replace it, even if she could replace it, and now she's homeless.

It must have been an older heater. All the space heaters I've seen in several years have a tip over switch that cuts them off when they fall over.
