RV Park Fire Escalates Into Explosion | Jacksonville News

At 1:45 AM, a massive fire erupted at Island Oaks RV Resort’s maintenance facility and sewer plant, quickly spreading to a pole barn and igniting two 1,000-gallon propane tanks. One tank exploded, sending a fireball skyward and triggering a brush fire that threatened nearby homes. Authorities evacuated the entire RV park and a neighboring neighborhood as a precaution. Thankfully, no one was injured. Multiple agencies, including teams from Jacksonville, worked for hours to contain the blaze. The cause remains under investigation — but this incident serves as a chilling reminder of how fast danger can escalate with flammable materials.
