FLAMES licked through a static caravan in a Felixstowe, after a television caught fire.

The owners left the van in the Walton Avenue park to buy a gas bottle, leaving the tv on. When they got back, an electrical fault had sparked a small blaze at the back of the set.

Two fire engines were called out from Felixstowe station at 9.40am on Saturday and spent just under 20 minutes putting out the blaze.

Felixstowe Beach Holiday Park general manager Keith Hurst said it was a privately-owned van and nobody had been hurt in the small fire.
