WATCH: 3 hospitalized with burns after RV goes up in flames in Peabody

PEABODY, Mass. — Three men were hospitalized with burn wounds after an RV caught fire on Tuesday afternoon.

Crews responding to multiple 911 calls on Walker Road for a report of an explosion found an RV fully engulfed in flames on arrival, according to Peabody fire officials.

Officials say two adult men were flown to a Boston hospital with serious injuries, while a young man in his 20s was transported to an area hospital by ground. One of those victims returned home on Tuesday night.

Firefighters say the flames were so intense that the sidings of two nearby houses began to melt.
