On the evening of 12 July, a significant fire broke out at Oaks Caravan Park in Fyfield Wick, Oxfordshire. The blaze is believed to have started from a barbecue. At least six static caravans were destroyed.
A total of 125 firefighters from four counties attended, using 14 appliances and seven specialist vehicles. No injuries were reported. Nearly 1,600 homes lost power. Twelve households were temporarily rehoused by the district council.
Police have allowed some residents to return to undamaged caravans, and roads have been reopened. The cause is considered accidental; an investigation is ongoing.
