A motor home and small sedan are a total loss after a fire in Morongo Valley Thursday night. About 9:30 p.m., Morongo Valley firefighters, with assistance from water tenders from Yucca Mesa and Desert Hot Springs, were called to the 50700 block of Palo Verde Road where they found the motor home fully involved in flames, and a small Chevy car also burning. There were no fire hydrants in the area, so firefighters depended on water tenders for water to douse the flames. In addition, power lines over the motor home made fighting the blaze challenging. The fire was knocked down within minutes, but it took at least an hour to put it out completely. No one was injured and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
