$1 Million in Damage Done in Arkansas Storage Fire

October 20, 2011

North Little Rock fire officials say a weekend fire at a storage unit facility has caused $1 million in damage to recreational vehicles and a boat and $35,000 to the building.

Firefighters responded to the blaze on Northshore Drive about 8:50 p.m. Saturday.

Fire Chief Al Cerrato told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Tuesday the fire may have started in a 1999 motor home, but crews don’t know its cause.

Cerrato says the motor home and Winnebago in another unit were destroyed and heat damaged a boat in a third unit.

He says the loss of other contents of the storage units is estimated at $15,000.
