Residents at a Hampshire caravan park had to be evacuated recently when a series of explosions caused a fire at a neighbouring scrap yard.
According to the Little Hampton Gazette, 30 people were led away from the Tynefield Caravan Park in Whiteley after police and fire services were called to the area in the early hours of the morning.
The blaze is being treated as suspicious and officers are reportedly working hard to make the area safe for the residents to return.
Chief inspector Will Schofield told the newspaper that it is believed the fire may have been started from a burning vehicle that was driven onto the site.
“The scene remains closed currently to allow us to carry out our investigation but we are aiming to get it open as soon as possible to allow people living in the caravan site to return to their homes,” he said.
In other news, Wigan Today has reported that arsonists targeted a caravan in the Bryn area on Saturday (September 18th).
