A reported fire at a caravan park in Stainforth near Doncaster resulted in fifteen firefighters being rushed to the scene early yesterday morning (June 6th), it has been reported.

The firefighters in question were called out to Station Road at 7am, where a caravan and two trailers had caught fire, according to the Thorne and District Gazette.

After five hours fighting the blaze, the fire crew were able to bring the situation under control by lunchtime, the local newspaper added.

The emergency services had been concerned that the blaze could spread to the nearby Meadow Court Stadium, which is a popular greyhound racing track.

This fire, which will come as a stark warning to anyone thinking of cutting corners when renewing their caravan insurance, comes less than a week after a caravan dealership in Northamptonshire lost £300,000 of its stock in a major blaze.
