Greenville Fire Chief Steve Thompson said the accidental fire was caused by careless smoking.

Thompson said a neighbor had been smoking cigarettes in the camper at 108 S. Second St.; the camper is owned by Ed Fisher of 16 Plum St. The abandoned camper was not insured and of "minimal value," Thompson said.

Firefighters were called at 4:50 p.m. and the first pumper arrived 4 minutes later, Thompson said.

Thompson said no one was hurt and firefighters cleared the scene in about an hour. He said a fire hydrant 500 feet from the camper provided enough water to put out the blaze.

As a result of the increased water pressure in the pipes needed to feed the hoses, some residents on the west side of town said their tap water was brown Wednesday evening.
