Title: fatality
Post by: Scania_1 on September 05, 2006, 04:21:39 PM

Fatal caravan fire down south last night (Maslins Beach). Not sure of the circumstances only that it was a 5 year old lad, nasty business especially when kids are involved.

Certainly nasty, we had a fatal caravan fire down here a few years back and that was nasty enough without it being a kid involved. :?

it would be hard to die in a burning caravan, because you should be able to get out, I would like to know the full story?

One of many possibilities, heard of being overcome by smoke inhalation ?
