HEATH, Mass. (WWLP) - Heath firefighters are trying to figure out what started a fire and caused several explosions in a large RV-type camper there Wednesday.

The fire started on 9 Cascade Drive around 6:25 Wednesday night. Heath Fire Chief Mike Smith told 22News the 35-foot long fifth-wheeler is a total loss. He said the explosions may have been from liquid propane tanks or even tires.

While they don't know what started the fire, Chief Smith said it appeared to have started inside the trailer. He said they're looking at several electrical items that were plugged in.

No one was hurt.
