A fire broke out at a caravan park in Doncaster this week when a gas cylinder exploded, causing three caravans to go up in flames.

According to the Doncaster Free Press, firefighters were called to the park in Sutton Road, Askern, on the evening of Monday February 21st.

Residents were evacuated from the scene as crews attempted to put out the flames and prevent them from spreading to other motor homes.

No one is believed to have been injured in the blaze, which will now be the subject of an investigation.

Although an exploded gas cylinder was found on the site, fire chiefs will be looking to determine the exact cause of the fire.

A number other gas cylinders had to be cooled before residents were allowed to return to their caravans.

The Doncaster fire came after an arson attack on a caravan at Sea Croft Holiday Park in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire.

According to the Louth Leader, fire crews were called to the site on Sunday February 13th, where they managed to extinguish the flames.
