Two fire appliances attended reports of a campervan on fire within a car park. On arrival crews found the campervan to be well alight but cylinders were not involved and were removed by fire crews to prevent further escalation. Crews used 2 Breathing Apparatus wearers and 2 hose reel jets to extinguish the fire. A Thermal Imaging Camera was used to check for hotspots and small tools used to gain access. The cause of the fire was accidental. The campervan was severely damaged by fire.
