Heartbreak in Texas as 4-year-old dies in RV fire

In a tragic event, a 4-year-old girl lost her life in an RV fire in Texas. Last Wednesday, firefighters were called to a trailer fire in Spicewood, a small community northwest of Austin. The tragic Texas fire has left a family devastated.

Tragic Texas fire takes one life, injures two others

The call rang in around four in the afternoon. Multiple agencies responded to the blaze and found the rig fully aflame when they arrived. Despite their best efforts, first responders could not enter the blazing rig. It was only after the fire was out that officials could recover the body of Isabella “Izzy” Rayne. Two adults, believed to be her parents, were injured in the fire and were treated at a local hospital.

A family friend has started a GoFundMe page in an effort to help the family. As of the time of publishing, nearly $8,000 had been raised with a goal of $9,000.

The Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office is taking point in investigating the cause of the fire. Spicewood is the home of singer Willie Nelson.

Russ and Tiña De Maris
Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! I cannot imagine what her parents are going through and likely will for the balance of their lives. 🙁 I pray they are comforted. Safe travels!
