One dead, one injured after motorhome fire in Nanaimo 

One person is dead and another injured after a motorhome fire in Nanaimo on Wednesday evening.   

Nanaimo RCMP said officers were called to a blaze in the 6800 block of Dover Road at about 5 p.m. on Dec. 10. Firefighters had the fire under control before police arrived, and it does not appear to be criminal in nature.  

“By the time police arrived, fire crews had contained the fire and no fire damage was reported to any other structures,” the RCMP said in a news release. “The injured man was found outside the motorhome and transported for medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. An adult man was located inside the motorhome deceased.”  

Police said the fire remains under investigation and asked anyone with information to contact the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
