A caravan has been destroyed by fire in Cowes overnight.
1 fire appliance from Cowes was mobilised to the park and ride car park at Somerton at 02:45 this morning (Monday).
It had been reported to fire control that a vehicle was well alight.
Retained firefighters arrived on scene to find a caravan ablaze, so quickly donned breathing apparatus and ran out 2 hose reel jets to tackle the flames.
It didn’t take long for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service crew to extinguish the fire and damp down the area, which has now been cordoned off.
A boundary fence has been charred as a result of the intense heat.
Bet they will get a parking ticket.
Was it someone’s temporary home ? . Several living in small caravans around Island as nothing else if homeless and single
Or som one dumped it there instead of taking it Clifton grade so set fire to it ???
