The fire was reported around 11:20 p.m. in the 200 block of Southeast Jackson Street.
They arrived to find the motor home fully involved, with flames extending to two other structures, a large shed on the property and a garage on a neighbors’ property, Redmond Fire Marshal Traci Cooper said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, the fire marshal said.
The American Red Cross said it sent a disaster response team to the scene to help the one adult resident with immediate basic needs.
