A CARAVAN was gutted in a suspected arson attack.
Firefighters were called to reports of a fire in Kinnock Park, Burtonwood shortly after 10pm last night.
On arrival crews discovered that the fire involved an abandoned caravan, which was well alight.
No-one was inside the caravan.
Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus each used a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire, which left the caravan completely destroyed.
Once the fire looked to be out, firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to look for hotspots and monitor temperatures.
They left the scene once they were satisfied that the caravan was safe.
No-one was taken to hospital.
Firefighters were at the scene for around 45 minutes.
Two fire engines from Warrington and Penketh dealt with the incident.
The fire is suspected to have been started deliberately.
Anyone with any information about the blaze should give the details to Cheshire Constabulary via cheshire.police.uk/ro/report, quoting IML 1147653.
