There was drama in a village close to Worthing in the south of England in the early hours of yesterday morning (September 23rd) when residents were forced indoors by a caravan fire.
According to the Argus, emergency services experts were concerned by the presence of a liquefied petroleum gas canister, which was spotted close to the blaze.
They told residents in Winterbourne Way, Durrington to stay inside while the fire was dealt with.
It is believed that arsonists may have set the caravan alight at approximately 01:00 BST, which led to the mobile home being completely destroyed.
After firemen brought the blaze under control, they cooled the canister to a safe temperature, allowing residents to emerge from their homes and assess the damage.
Two detached garages also bore the marks of the flames and smoke.
The attack is the latest in a number of incidents in which caravans have been targeted.
Welsh newspaper the Denbighshire Visitor recently revealed how a man and two women required medical treatment after a separate incident in Towyn.
