Copeland Family RV Bus Fire

Kyle and Whitney Copeland bought a used city bus a couple of years ago with plans of converting it into a family motorhome and spending some time together traveling across the country with their four children, Pepper age 11, Kade age 10, Emree age 6, Krew age 3, and Hazel, their dog.

They packed up everything they owned and hit the road. Whitney was home schooling the kids as they traveled From Utah to Maine and back, landing for a spell at a friends home in Veyo, Utah. Around 10 pm on the evening of December 28, 2021, the children were inside. Kade and Pepper in their bunks and Emree and Krew up front playing. Kyle and Whitney and Hazel were outside hitching up their trailer, preparing to leave the following day. Emree came running out of the bus to tell her dad the heater was making a funny noise. No sooner had she got her message delivered, the bus burst into flames. This blog is a little disjointed as quotes and copied posts from Facebook and other sources have come in an erratic manner, but it tells the continuing story of this tragedy.
