A fire in a residential carpark in Vange, Essex destroyed two caravans and a car at the weekend.
Firefighters don’t know what sparked the inferno, which quickly spread between the two vehicles and a Ford Fiesta parked in between, wrecking all three.
Two fire engines and eight firemen spent a quarter of an hour tackling the blaze on Saturday night (April 14th), but luckily managed to prevent one of the tourer’s gas canisters from exploding.
An investigation is now underway to establish the cause of the fire, the Southend Standard reported.
Warren Breeze, leading firefighter, told the newspaper: “It’s strange how it started in a residential car park.
“We had to use breathing equipment while we put out the flames. Luckily we managed to get the canister out before it became too hot.”
A recent study by Club Care Insurance revealed that 99 per cent of claims relating to caravans would not be covered by an owner’s standard car insurance.
