A man and woman living in a caravan in Bristol managed to escape from their burning home after it caught fire early yesterday morning.

The blaze in the Greenbank area of the city happened on a street occupied by around 40 caravans.

The fire brigade arrived shortly after being called but flames had already spread from one caravan to another.

The fire then consumed a nearby car and damaged several houses.
