The Harlan Fire Department responded Tuesday afternoon,  to a motor home fire.  The fire took place at the Shelby County Fairgrounds in Harlan.  Upon arrival, firefighters found a motor home in a camping spot, on fire.  One person sleeping in the motor home was able to escape without injury, and the fire department was able to quickly extinguish the blaze with only minor damage resulting to the left rear corner of the home.

Officials say the fire was caused by faulty electrical wiring in the taillight section of the vehicle.  The Harlan Fire Department was on the scene for about 25 minutes.
