A Nottinghamshire mum is fighting to change the law to make it mandatory for all caravans to have a smoke detector installed. Natasha Broadley lost her youngest daughter Louisiana Brooke-Dolan on August 23, 2021 to a tragic fire that broke out in the caravan they were staying in while on holiday in Sealands Caravan Park in Ingoldmells.
The mum of four had been in the shower when she smelled smoke and came out to find the caravan in flames. An inquest took place last month where it was heard the fire started from a cupboard where the boiler had not had its gas certificate renewed for five months.
Although Natasha, of Newark, believes that the boiler is to blame, the court could not rule for certain what caused the fire. Following the incident Lincolnshire Police confirmed there would be no criminal charges, and the inquest into Louisiana's death heard how it could not be established that there was a fault with the boiler the owner should have known about. East Lindsey District Council have also since confirmed that they would also not be prosecuting.
