An RV caught fire in Sparks Tuesday afternoon, shutting down Howard Drive as fire crews battled the flames.

At 5:30 p.m., the Sparks Fire Department (SFD) reported that their crews were working to put out an RV fire off Howard drive.

Howard Drive closed between Lincoln and Camino Real for about an hour to allow fire units room and safety to work.

Around 6:30 p.m. SFD firefighters were still on scene but were at that point able to reopen Howard Drive.

This is a developing story and will be updated as information continues to come in.
