Caravan arson in Glastonbury
On the evening of 13 June, a fire destroyed two caravans parked on Beckery New Road in Glastonbury, Somerset, next to a Tesco supermarket. Fire crews arrived around 20:00 BST, initially with three appliances and later two more, including an aerial ladder. The blaze was extinguished by 22:40.
The supermarket was evacuated and closed early. The fire caused thermal damage to about 10% of the store's external wall and also affected a neighbouring building. No injuries were reported. Police and fire services deem the cause suspicious and are treating it as arson. Tesco reopened as normal on the morning of 14 June. Authorities are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.
