Caravan owners and holidaymakers staying in a caravan in Lincolnshire including Ingoldmells, Skegness, Cleethorpes, and Boston, have been warned to be careful after a caravan fire in Ingoldmells.

On August 6th, 2023, two fire crews from Skegness Fire Station attended at a fire in Ingoldmells. The caravan fire which was situated on Ingoldmells holiday park Beach Estate was caused by a towel placed over a heater.

The fire crews who attended the fire at around 12.14am extinguished the fire.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said that the fire had been caused by a towel being placed over an electric heater.”

“Fire damage to one electric heater extinguished using dry powder extinguishers, small tools and thermal imaging camera.”

“Caused by a towel being placed over the heater.” The Lincolnshire fire service has extensive guidelines on caravan safety, with the east coast being a popular site for holidaymakers.

Caravan holiday park guidelines include that all caravans must have a smoke alarm. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue advise that all smoke alarms should be checked weekly. However, it has been reported that many caravans in Lincolnshire do not have a working smoke alarm.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are advising caravan owners and holidaymakers staying in a caravan to not block air vents, as leaking gas could knock them unconscious. They also advise not to put towels over heaters.
