A 'large fire' has broken out at a holiday park in Devon with people being urged to avoid the area.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service were called to a fire at Haulfryn, Devon Hills Holiday Park leisure complex at 7.09 am this morning (15 September).

They say the fire is believed to have started in the sauna but is now affecting around half of the leisure complex's roof.

Crews from 10 different stations in Devon are at the scene of the incident and people are being urged to avoid the area.

The A385 is down to one lane between Paignton and Totnes so fire crews can access a nearby hydrant.
