Hopefully no one was injured. It can imagine this type of stuff goes sideways quickly.

This was online from the Havasu Herald regarding this fire.
Appears the motor home parked adjacent was saved, but per the picture sustained serious damage.
A faulty propane stove caused a recreational vehicle to erupt in flames this week at Crazy Horse Campground, according to witnesses, but the blaze was quickly contained by responding Lake Havasu City firefighters.
The RV was parked in a lot near the Island’s northern shore Thursday evening, where the vehicle’s owner reported the fire at about 7 p.m. Three fire engine companies, a truck company and a Lake Havasu City Fire Department battalion chief responded to the scene, with fire officials gaining control of the blaze within 30 minutes.
Crazy Horse Campground employee Richie Hunter described the incident Friday morning.
“It was a faulty propane stove,” Hunter said. “The owner was cooking a pizza, the stove overheated, and blew up. I heard four explosions - probably the propane tank and the tires. The RV was in flames by the time I got there. We shut down the water and power to the RV immediately.”
According to Hunter, Lake Havasu City Fire officials arrived at the scene within five minutes of the fire taking place.
“They usually get here pretty fast when there’s a fire,” Richie said. “They’re very professional.”
Fire officials say the RV’s owner safely evacuated the vehicle when the fire began, and was uninjured.

Good to hear no one died. It could have be a lot worse than it was
