Caravan 'completely destroyed' by fire in Hornsey

Two fire engines were at the scene

A caravan was ‘completely destroyed’ by a fire in Hornsey earlier this week.

On 15th August, two fire engines and around ten firefighters were called to Hampstead Lane where a caravan had been set ablaze.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) control office received nine calls about the incident, with the first at 1.47pm. The fire was under control by 2.32pm.

A gas cylinder at the scene was cooled to an ambient temperature as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
