Billowing black smoke filed the skies in Teddington when a motorhome mysteriously caught fire outside the old and derelict St John Ambulance station in Park Road.
The smoke could be seen for miles around and the flames were perilously close to a row of private houses nearby.
Today the extent of the damage could be fully seen with the blackened and fire damaged vehicle seemingly abandoned in the same position.
Two fire engines attended with ten firefighters. According to the London Fire Brigade most of the caravan was destroyed and an adjacent derelict building’s guttering and facia was damaged by the fire,
Two cylinders were removed by the emergency crews and and cooled down as a precaution against an explosion being caused by the extreme heat.
The Fire Brigade was alerted at 1455 and the incident was declared over by 1544.
Fire crews from Southall and Kingston fire stations were in attendance. The cause of the fire is unknown
