Investigators are trying to piece together an early morning blaze that gutted two campers and a barn, Monday morning.
The fire started around 3:00 a.m. on Blake Road in Nitro.
Investigators say it started in the barn and quickly spread to two nearby campers. By the time firefighters got on scene, one camper was already fully engulfed.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
Assistant State Fire Marshal Shawn Alderman says propane tanks were hooked up to one of the campers so crews had to be extra careful about tackling the fire.
It took firefighters about 20 minutes to get it under control.
