    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.

    The fire was knocked down quickly and contained only to the mobile home. Photos showed the charred remains of the mobile structure.

    Neighbors say the RV was being worked on to go on vacation.
