BC: Hundreds of burnt RV's drone view + ground walk around 11-26-2021 

Nothing but the RVs caught on fire - no buildings or anything else - looks mighty suspicious.

First time I see so many fire, insurance and Rv specialists altogether! Impressive !

😳 The extent of the destruction here is stunning. Great drone and camera work. Love the silhouette of mountains at sunset in the background in the opening shots. That’s a lot of toxic smoke that’s for sure. Some if that’s liable to get in the water. What a NIGHTMARE 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've been a long time subscriber and I live very close to this flood area and fire. Thanks for coming out here and capturing this video and your Chilliwack rescue video. Amazing images as always. The stacked shipping containers at the RV dealer fell over last year due to high winds.

I feel for the owner of the business and the devastation is so massive! Great drone footage!

I'll tell you this now if anyone ever needed someone to film a news headline you are the person for the job. Talk about covering what happened here. I never thought I would be flying over it walking amongst it anywhere near like this… Did you ever cover this. Yeah really good job

It was deliberate for insurance, I was there around November 10th..would be impossible for a Fire to break out at RV world, someone set flame to the propane and boom the whole place went up.

When they said the rv market was "hot" they weren't kidding! But seriously, it looks like they weren't selling like they'd have us believe.

There is a moral to the story. It’s about what insurance will or will not cover.

There are a lot of good long blocks as the basic engine should still be functional! I have used a 1966, 396 Chevy Engine with a cast iron block that went through a car dealer showroom fire! Did not even change the head gaskets just replaced intake and all accessories! The car ran up to 140 MPH and lasted many years!

Why were these units packed so tight? Once this got started, it was over.

This is a very suspicious fire in my opinion! No flood insurance, so what do you do? Get someone to burn them… problem solved. These Rvs are parked like this every year never been an issue

THANK YOU 4K Guy! Thank you!

Its actually a great deal for them. They are insured for the retail value. But as they manufacture all of them themselves for a quarter if not less.....they more or less "sold all RVs" off to the insurance within few hours. Best deal ever - as hardly any rental clients came in since Covid started

Call me crazy, but that bird’s eye view of the burnt rv’s would make a very challenging 1000 pc Big Ben puzzle. Like how would you sort that, by colour, or shapes ? Apocalyptic. .

Too bad there wasn't any water around to put the fire out.

Keep this aerial image in mind if you are considering buying a "tract home" where they are built so close together that you can hear your neighbor fart! When one house catches fire, it easily spreads to the next. Great video, yet sad situation.

Brings a whole; new meaning to the term "FIRE SALE"

I was there on November 10th, the trailers were not all parked in one area like that...they put them all in one spot so they would burn better

How does a fire like this start during the biggest flood in bc history??

I hate to bring this up. but have you ever tried to dispose of a RV that is no longer roadworthy? Because they are made mainly of fiberglass and foam, nobody will take them. Not the junk dealers, recyclers, or landfills.

Wow, I'm blown away by this video. It looks like somewhere in war-torn Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan. I'm in Vancouver and I've been following CBC, Global and the main TV news and I never saw any of this. How the heck did this get started? Arson? It's all one specific area. Or is there some explainable reason? Truly mind-boggling.

What a mess out there. It is never ending between fires and floods. I had to move, I couldn't take it anymore. So much bad luck out west. I feel so bad for all the people involved too. What a mess out there. Great footage. I will stay subscribed to your channel now. Thank you.

Looks like 100% arson folks. The fire is far too uniform to be natural.

that fucking blows to think you were blessed to have none of your rv inventory flooded to have them catch fire...

That was one hot fire. Obviously, lots of gas and propane tanks and tires to add to the inferno. Also having them parked tightly together just kept the fire going. I can't believe the pick up trucks on the end. There's no bed or cab left. So much for Super Duty. We had a marina fire 17 years ago that consumed 50 boats in a fire, but that is on another level.

Does the insurance cover the fire damage? If so is it possible they were set on fire cause if they weren't the insurance wouldn't cover the flood damage?

There's definitely gonna be an investigation as far I know there was no lighting that happened the night of the fire. Unless one of the powerlines above the RV's fell and caught fire?? Otherwise it's surrounded by water how can a fire start when the property didn't flood ??

How the heck does that many RVs burn up. No access?

I thought there was a shortage of RV's...how come this outfit had so many when no one else could get any??

Looks to be mostly class C’s. All it takes is a battery short, a bit of wind and a long talk with the insurance company

What an incredible waste

Looks like an insurance scam on a massive scale to me.. When a business is hurting, you're not selling anything - set it alight and scam the insurance company.. Blame it on the flood.. No one wiser.. As good as gold..

Oh no.. No flood insurance. But we have fire insurance! Burnt the lot before they get swamped and harder to light

great job of filming ... this is so sad !!!

So much hard work.....my god

If I lived in the sumas Valley and I knew an eminent flood was heading my way, I'd be lighting the place on fire as I was leaving. You can't get flood insurance if you live in a sumass. I highly doubt this is the case here but I'm just saying

Where was this and what was the cause of the fire?

This is so heartbreaking for the owners. Covid & flooding isnt bad enough. My HEART goes out to them.

This looks extremely suspicious! Those units were so close together it would be almost impossible to show them to a potential customer. They were so close together you couldn’t even open the slides, how could anyone sell an RV if you can’t get inside it, much less open any of the slides? Some of the comments mentioned the severe flooding the area had been experiencing so it sure looks like an insurance job to me!

To all those saying it is a bit suspicious. ou can bet with this much damage,, and despite it being difficult always to find the start, they will put some extra time in this one to find out. This is a big hit to any insurance company, and it will raise insurance for many businesses with similar types of vehicles, etc. If the business had no flood insurance because it cost too much in that area given it has had flooding in the past, and magically a fire went through and they have fire insurance you can bet the investigation will go very deep to try to find out what happened. However, whatever the truth is I hope that comes out, that's all. No matter what it is. I would feel sorry for them if say they have fire insurance but some technical reason the insurance company gets out of paying. Like say by parking the vehicles that close together they broke some fire code and thus are not covered, or the flood was deemed the ultimate 'reason' for the start of the fire so it is considered 'flood' damage and thus not covered, etc. I sure hope that if this was a legit fire, which for all I can see so far there is no reason to believe it wasn't, and if that is the case I sure hope for the businesses's sake, and for all the people who rely on that business for income, side businesses, sake, that they don't get screwed over on the insurance contract's minutia... I can tell you this, if that was my business I would be having a heart attack in waiting to find out if it is covered or not. Feel sorry for the guy/family just for that level of stress, but hope everything was on the up and up for everyone's sake, and if that is true then they also get paid out....

Wow! I'm speechless.

no flood insurance.but had fire insurance.

So sad, given the demand for these units is high now.

It looks like Direct Energy Weapon !

Truly unbelievable 😥

It is a perfect timing.

Sorry if I missed a reply on this but is there a cause determined yet ? Seems so strange.

A little suspicious a fire starts when nobody can get there to put it out 🤔

As I watch this video what concerns me are the high tension power lines directly above the mass of rvs could of been the ignition source?

All those propane tanks, plastics , tires, fuel and oils , I bet it was fun to watch

So sorry for the business, It's going to be hard to recover from a loss like that Even if it was all covered by insurance.

Crew cab ford RV was cool, don't see many of those in the US

It sure was far from Chilliwack on the hyway to Abbotsford I wonder if there is any salvage available I need a RV furnace living in freaxzing cold weather

Kinda curious as to why the surrounding buildings and lots, parcels of land butting up to this one had absolutely no damage. The Damage was solely concentrated and focused on only this parcel. And for several units to be in almost complete ashes, the fires were much more intense than any normal fires. Looks familiar to the arson fires in California, Washington and Oregon early 2020 during the mass rash of "peaceful protests" where only certain targeted areas were burnt, incinerated, while lush green trees and grass surrounded the immediate area. Looks too suspicious for me, sorry but not sorry for having my own free will opinion.

As a RVer for almost 20yrs, that is hard to watch.

A TRUE fire sale !

Similar to California fire where the alloy wheels got melted..what it might be..looks like all of them got burnt in pattern!

What a devastation! Regardless of what it's about, we're all powerless. Thanks for reporting. Maybe see what happens? Why are some ok?

Those high intensity power lines are directly above. 🤔

That's going to cost the insurance companies millions to replace all those RVs.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a RV

terrible loss ...people could live in it!

didn't have flood damage/ insurance but for sure had fire...hmm I smell something here..

Is there any Newspaper-Articles about that? I am from Germany and want to understand, why so many Caravans and Mobiles are so close together and why there seems to be any Firefighting.

How or who started the fire...????

Can you say over kill? How does this many vehicles burn up ? 1 tractor could of pushed vehicles out of the way to make a fire brake Several people need to go to jail over this

What caused the fire? Insurance?

Good video but needed some narration. Watching on my tv I had no idea what was going on. On my phone I could read the description. Wow, what I’d given for just one of those rvs

Is this a case where not covered by the flood but covered if a fire?

I have been driving past this place for decennia’s. I always wondered why they had such a large inventory, and it never seemed to change. Well, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain, but I always thought I’ll see you again.

Amazed the power lines were fine.

How did the fire jump between the hug gaps? 13:00.

How did u get into private property thats under a police investigation?

I feel awful for this business owner, but it also does bring into light how cheap a lot of these RV's are built. I'm not speaking of them burning up, but rather how light weight and thin the metal is on the chasis for supporting the RV cabins

Sure looks awfully suspicious to me

I think I seen one of these burned-out RVs on Copart. There was no auction bidders.

Just wondering why they didn't move a few rows of RV's out to create a fire brake.

Unbelievable.

No loss to mankind there.

what a mess, its hard to imagine.

All the best to them but now I am curious the make and model of the line of RVs that didn’t get as demolished in the middle of the burn zone. Still toasty but obviously something was different. Maybe they just weren’t fueled or maybe they are more resistant.

How much for that 4x4 overlander?!?

look the fire jumped over a huge gap between rows my how on earth did it do that

Wonder if the block heater caused the fire? We had that happen with snow removal equipment. Burned the building down and all the vehicles inside it.

Who had their vehicles parked here. LTV?

Ah plays with timelines What is that Burns in lake or rain water

Where is this ? Location please

that looks like Hunters Sport Shop in North Battleford. someone lit a match. toxic smoke & wasted materials from Mother Earth.

Might be some new regulations in the works? Requiring a minimum distance between RVs on a dealer's lot?

It's amazing how" complete" they were consumed

This is a common phenomenon that occurs when insurance papers are kept close to bank statements. Red ink on financial papers spontaneously ignite when placed near the black ink typically used when drafting insurance documents..

Flood or fire I'll bet every unit there is a total loss. And yes, probably the flood caused a short in an electrical system that started the fire that spread from unit to unit.

Sad situation!!

It's spelled.... A-R-S-O-N........ This happens in order to keep from filing Bankruptcy and instead, gets an insurance check to pay off your failing business.........

Does anybody know how the fire started was it an insurance job because they weren't covered if it flooded

You call yourself the 4k guy and then upload at 1080p, what gives?

Great for business, manufacturing, lawyers and insurance companies.

STUNNING VIEWS ! SO SORRY !

Fire carefully avoided all buildings. How convenient!
