Fire destroyed an RV on Thursday morning at the Land Yacht Harbor near Lacey, a Lacey Fire District 3 official said.

A couple escaped the RV, but their pets — two cats — are thought to have died.

“It doesn’t look like the cats made it,” Battalion Chief Tim Hulse said.

Fire crews were dispatched about 7:40 a.m. Thursday to the 9100 block of Steilacoom Road Southeast in Olympia. Hulse said the site is packed with RVs, but fire crews were able to contain the fire to one unit.

The couple in the RV saw smoke and fled the vehicle, he said. The fire gutted the interior.

The fire is under investigation, Hulse said.
