A blaze caused by single sky lantern ripped through 14 vehicles in a West Country town. Experts have now issued a stark warning following the business park fire.
Flames broke out at Newport Industrial Estate in Launceston, Cornwall, after the lantern landed on the windscreen wipers of a van. A review of CCTV from the night of the blaze by Cornwall Council showed it starting to smoulder and then suddenly catching light.
The incident was attended by multiple fire crews across the county including Launceston, Callington and Liskeard.
