This is an "oh dang"

if pulled over and started a fire wouldnt the motorhome have burned as well?I guess they never saw that cigerette fly out a window

I think they're assuming a lot too. How can a spark get all the way through a long exhaust system that probably doesn't even have a strait through muffler?

Boy, I have a real problem with this story!

..."Burning material from the exhaust was blown to the highway shoulder, starting the fires". (They guess what happened):H

...."A crowd of neighbors gathered near the motorhome and

people exchanged tales

of the close call.

The owner of the RV said she had pulled over to check her MH and did NOT start the fires. The local neighbors all ASSUMED she had started the fire because she was simply pulled over 'near' them.

Those people including the cops and fireman sure did ASSUME a lot regarding this poor RV'er. :R
