Tuolumne, CA – There was a fire that created concerns for residents in downtown Tuolumne.
As the image box photo shows flames were shooting out of a motor home this afternoon in Tuolumne. Smoke could be seen billowing into the skies above Oak Street near Elm Avenue and the West Side Memorial Park in Tuolumne just after 2:30 p.m. Firefights found the RV fully engulfed in flames and blocking the roadway. Crews were able to knock down the blaze within minutes.
