Firefighters put out a caravan on fire in a Dawlish holiday park on Monday (3 April).

The fire service received several calls just before 3.30pm and crews from Dawlish, Teignmouth and Exeter Middlemoor immediately rushed to the scene.

The blaze is believed to have been caused by a faulty electric heater.

A Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "Fire control received several calls reporting a caravan on fire at the above location.

"Three fire appliances, and an operational assurance officer were mobilised immediately.

"On arrival of the crews, they confirmed that there was a caravan on fire within the holiday park and were using a hose reel jet and foam jet to control the fire. This was quickly escalated to a foam jet, main jet, and covering jet.

"The fire was extinguished and is believed to have started accidentally due to a faulty electrical heater."
