Since March 2026, three RV fires have been reported: in Amarillo (Texas), Irapuato (Mexico) and North Summit (Utah). The incidents led to evacuations, highway closure and damage to nearby properties.

Amarillo, Texas (March 3, 2026)

An RV caught fire in Amarillo, Texas. The call came in at 4:15 a.m., and the fire was contained by 4:32 a.m. All occupants were evacuated and taken to a hospital for observation. The cause is under investigation.

Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico (April 18–19, 2026)

In the Los Arcos neighborhood of Irapuato (also known as Rincón de los Arcos), a grass fire spread to a parked RV. Flames reached a gas tank inside the camper, causing a flash. The RV was completely destroyed; two homes and three cars were damaged. No injuries were reported. A column of smoke was visible for kilometers. Firefighters and civil protection units extinguished the blaze.

North Summit, Utah, USA (April 24, 2026)

On Interstate I-84 near Echo Junction, an RV caught fire. The blaze spread to less than an acre of pasture. North Summit firefighters contained it with no injuries. The highway was closed at dawn. This is the 12th human‑caused wildfire in Summit County in 2026.

Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak: Off-road minivan may enter production

Chrysler is considering series production of the Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept, an off-road minivan with all-wheel drive and raised suspension. First shown in 2025, the project has gained momentum internally. Ground clearance is increased by nearly 7 cm, it rides on BFGoodrich off-road tires on 18-inch wheels, and rear seats are replaced by a storage or sleeping module. The powertrain is expected to be the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 without a hybrid option.
