Once en route, dispatch tapped out Engine 1, Engine 5, and Brush 5 to the area of N. Moreno Ave. and Lower Gold Camp Rd. for another vehicle fire. Once Engine 13 arrived on scene they confirmed both incidents were the same and dispatch merged the calls. Engine 13 then established Penrose Command and requested a working fire assignment. Dispatch then asked command if there were any injuries, when command advised there were no injuries, dispatch then tapped out Engine 4 for a nearby report of a person on fire. Once on scene of that call, Engine 4 determined there was no one on fire and the RP was referencing the RV Fire.
