Here's a recent update- cause unknown, but firefighters think it started "in the kitchen area".

Wonder if it had a Norcold, and if so, if the recall work had been done.
OR
Since most fires associated with the infamous Norcold happen when operating on 110v, it would be interesting to know if the fridge in this unit was perhaps being powered by an onboard generator.
