An investigation has been launched after a caravan fire in a South Cambs field at the weekend, as it’s believed the blaze was started deliberately.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw the blaze – which was dealt with by a crew from Cambridge Fire Station – on Saturday evening.

At 5pm, firefighters were called to the incident in a field along Orwell Road on the edge of Barrington.

They arrived to find the caravan ablaze. Wearing breathing apparatus, they extinguished the fire using hose reels and returned to their station by 6.55pm.

The cause of the fire is believed to be deliberate, Cambs fire service has said.
