Fire control received several calls reporting a caravan on fire at the above location. Three fire appliances, and an operational assurance officer were mobilised immediately.
On arrival of the crews, they confirmed that there was a caravan on fire within the holiday park and were using a hose reel jet and foam jet to control the fire. This was quickly escalated to a foam jet, main jet, and covering jet.
The fire was extinguished and is believed to have started accidentally due to a faulty electrical heater.
