A fire on a Welsh caravan site has led to a man and two women requiring medical treatment, it has been revealed.

According to the Denbighshire Visitor, a 56-year-old male was treated for burns, while two females aged 40 and 74 suffered smoke inhalation.

The newspaper alleged that the injuries occurred when an unoccupied neighbouring mobile home at the Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Towyn was torched by arsonists.

One caravan was completely destroyed and another slightly damaged by the flames, which also damaged a gas cylinder enough to cause fire crews some concern.

However, they acted quickly to cool the container and avoid an explosion.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Russ Vaughan told the newspaper that it was likely a “deliberate ignition”.

“The caravan was close to other caravans and tents. It was lucky that the fire did not cause further damage to nearby campers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Robin Hood Holiday Park in Ryml recently hosted more than 2,000 scooter enthusiasts who were in the area for a rally, the newspaper added.
