Caravan set on fire deliberately
Firefighters were called to a static caravan on fire in Hawkwell last night (Friday 7 April).
Fire crews reported that the caravan was completely alight.
Firefighters managed to get the fire under control quickly, and had completed extinguished the fire by 11:30pm.
Watch Manager Gary Shinn, Hawkwell Fire Station, said:
"Our crews did a fantastic job of stopping the fire from spreading any further. They took control of the incident and extinguished the fire quickly and efficiently."
We believe the fire was started deliberately.
