RV Catches Fire At State Fairgrounds, Nobody Hurt

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (WCCO) – A man apparently living in an RV at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds has his dog to thank for still being alive Wednesday morning.

That's because his RV caught fire while he was sleeping, his dog woke him up and the two got out safely, according to St. Paul fire officials. Authorities said they are not sure why the man was staying in the RV on the State Fairgrounds, but they don't believe the fire is suspicious.

The man and the dog escaped unharmed. Authorities say his RV is a total loss. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
