Caravan fire treated as arson
12 January 2009
A fire which destroyed 14 static caravans at a popular holiday
park is being treated as arson.
A £1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to
the arrest and conviction of offenders who caused a fire at Kiln
Park in Tenby shortly before 8pm on Sunday.
The fire was one of two deliberately set in the town on Sunday.
Police also attended Penally Railway station were a fire was set in
the toilets at 5.30pm, put out by members of the public but then
restarted around five hours later.
The seaside town has been hit by a spate of arson attacks
recently. Sunday's fires are not currently being linked to several
recent car fires in Tenby but Dyfed-Powys Police said they were
"keeping an open mind".
On December 16, there were four fires in the town and three cars
were set alight two days later.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact
them.
A spokesman for Kiln Park said: "Due to the time of year, no
holidaymakers were on site and no member of staff was injured.
"The caravans were being temporarily stored on a car park while
their permanent site was being redeveloped over the winter
months.
"The alarm was raised by security staff and the fire service was
quickly in attendance. Police have now sealed off the area and are
conducting a forensic examination."
