In a 911 call obtained by News Center 7, a woman can be heard telling dispatchers her camper was on fire and she couldn’t get out.

“I’m stuck, the camper is on fire,” the woman told dispatchers.

Initial crews made it on the scene within three minutes to pull the woman out of the camper and the fire was extinguished.
