Caravan owners have been urged to double check their insurance policies after a caravan was wrecked in a fire in the Yorkshire town of Doncaster.

Local emergency services were called to the scene at around 11:30 pm on Sunday (May 15th), and the incident was logged as “deliberate”, the Sheffield Star reports.

The caravan blaze also did significant damage to a nearby business premises. John Hudson, owner of John Hudson Trailers, said that the damage will run into the thousands of pounds.

Firefighters said they were uncertain of the exact cause of the fire, but added that some of the vehicles involved were so badly damaged that they were unidentifiable.

A police spokeswoman was quoted by the local paper as saying: “It is believed the fire started in a container that held a number of tyres. Nobody was injured. At this stage it is not known how the fire started.”
