A number of people were evacuated last night from Mablethorpe caravan park while firefighters tried to combat a blaze.
The fire crews arrived at 02:50am to tackle flames which had broken out at a storage building on the site. As a precaution officers from Lincolnshire police evacuated holidaymakers from neighbouring caravans and moved them to a nearby clun house. Those further away were advised to close windows and doors to avoid smoke inhalation.
Crews from ten fire and rescue districts were called upon for more than eight hours in an attempt to extinguish the fire at the building on Quebec Road, Mablethorpe.
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police confirmed to Caravan Times this morning that there was no indication that anyone was injured in the blaze.
Last night investigation officers from the fire services visited the site along with police officials in order to discern the reasons behind the fire. Police are said to be continuing to investigate whether the fire was 'a delibarate ignition'.
