By the time firefighters arrived at around 2:45 p.m. to the fairgrounds, flames had taken over about 50 percent of the vehicle, CBS affiliate WTSP reported, citing officials.
After firefighters extinguished the blaze, the RV owners told investigators that five boxers had been inside the vehicle.
No humans were injured, officials said.
Investigators believe the fire was an accident, but they're still narrowing down a specific cause, Herrin said.
According to the American Kennel Club, boxers "excel in a wide range of canine sports, including obedience, agility, and herding, and they perform brilliantly as service, assistance, and therapy dogs." Their life expectancy is generally 10-12 years.
