A full-size RV was destroyed by a fire Sunday morning in Aberdeen. The RV, which was towing a car, caught fire after the driver had pulled up to the gas pumps at Mac’s Food Store on Sandpit Rd in Aberdeen.

Firefighters in action

The clerk immediately did an emergency shutdown of the pumps, evacuated the store, and had vehicles quickly moved from the area.

The canopy at the gas station suffered damage as well

The first fire units were on the scene within minutes and reported heavy smoke and flames. Fire units worked fervently to fight the fire and keep it from spreading to the canopy and pumps. They swiftly brought the fire under control and remained on the scene for an extended period of time.
