FIREFIGHTERS rushed to tackle a caravan fire in Yate last night.

Two crews from Yate and one from Kingswood were called to a property on North Road at 10.44pm.

There they found a fire involving a caravan and nearby fencing, which also caused some damage to nearby flats on the property.

Four firefighters in breathing apparatus worked together using jets to bring the fire under control.

An assessment of the incident has led to the conclusion that the fire was deliberately started, but thankfully there were no reported injuries.
