Two people die after caravan fire at holiday park

Two people have died following a fire at a caravan site near Skegness.

Officers were called to a report of a caravan fire at Goldenbeach Holiday Park in Roman Bank, Ingoldmells, shortly after 3.50am on Saturday, Lincolnshire Police said.

Fire and rescue crews attended and two people were found to have died.

Their next of kin have been informed and will be supported by specially trained officers.

Inquires are being carried out to determine the exact cause of the fire and investigators are keeping “an open mind”, the force said.

Two fire crews remain at the scene.

National Grid said its engineers had disconnected the local electricity supply to allow the police and fire service to carry out investigations on site.

It added it would aim to restore power to “50 locally affected customers” once the investigations were completed.
