AN ABERGAVENNY man has spoken of the the moment a static caravan became engulfed in flames on the Bank Holiday weekend.

The incident happened at Trecco Bay Holiday Park, in Porthcawl - a popular spot with families.

Eyewitness footage shows the flames spreading throughout the caravan, while onlookers stand by.

Stuart Bill, from the Monmouthshire town, was at the site with his family on the day of the blaze.

“I was looking for my dad’s walking stick at the time,” he said.

“When I turned around, I saw loads of smoke in the sky so I ran down to see what it was.”

Mr Bill went on to explain that when he discovered the source of the smoke, the caravan was already ablaze.

“I got my phone out and recorded it,” he added.

“There were loads of people running down to see what was going on.”

Mr Bill says that his video of the burning caravan has since gone viral, amassing more than one-and-a-half million views.

The caravan was left completely burnt out and others nearby also suffered damage during the fire.

Two caravans on either side of the burned-out caravan had cracked windows and partially melted walls and a caravan opposite had a boarded up window.

Eyewitness reports say the fire only took a few minutes to completely engulf the caravan.

So far the cause of the fire remains unknown, however it has been reported that nobody was hurt in the incident.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said that they had received a call at 7.30pm and two fire engines were sent out to the scene.

A spokesperson for Trecco Bay Holiday Park said: “The caravan fire was an isolated incident and nobody has been hurt.

“We would like to thank the fire service and team on park for their swift response in handling the incident.”
