A caravan owner at Glan Gwna Country Holiday Park in Wales was left devastated after fire tore through his mobile home.
According to BBC News, the blaze occurred when clothes were left too close to a gas heater.
The mobile home was burned to the ground, with the adjacent caravan also suffering damage.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service fire safety enforcement officer Simon Talbot explained that clothes should never be left near a heater.
“It only takes a few minutes for a small fire to develop into a serious and life-threatening fire as we have seen in this incident,” he said.
“This family was only out for about 20 minutes and by then the whole caravan was destroyed.”
The owner of the neighbouring holiday home was treated for smoke inhalation and shock.
Fire service officials offer a free safety check and will install alarms where needed.
Glan Gwna Country Holiday Park is located two miles from Cemarfon and is set among 100 acres of woodland and parkland.
