Fire In The Camp...We're All Safe!

We've had an exciting afternoon as our electrical box burst into flames while camping on Lake Murray in SC. Thomas grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the fire but the outlet was faulty and wouldn't trip the breaker. So the box continued to burst into flames over and over again until the park ranger showed up and turned off the breaker at the main box up the hill. 

Park Ranger Matt replaced the outlet and now we are back enjoying our vacation. It is not our plan to see Smokey Bear on this trip to the park! Hopefully we won't have any more problems with the outlet. The only damage, other than the park outlet on fire, was our converter plug attached to the bus melted in the flames. We were able to replace it at a nearby camping store.
