My God! I hope the camper is OK.
Did he or she spontaneously combust?
Got to close to the fire making s’mores?
Lol exactly what I thought someone put that poor camper out! Who sits there and let’s a camper burn
Only drummers
I sure hope the folks using that camper were not involved and inside when it started to burn. They generally burn very quickly giving you little time to get out.
