CIG BLAST HORROR; Woman critical after caravan blows up.
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/CIG+BLAST+HORROR%3B+Woman+critical+after+caravan+blows+up.-a091529104
A WOMAN was fighting for her life last night after a massive gas explosion at a caravan park.
She suffered 40 per cent burns as the mobile
home was ripped apart yesterday morning.
It's thought the blast was triggered when her partner lit a cigarette which ignited leaking gas cylinders.
The pair were blown out of the caravan on to the road.
Elderly Widnes couple's lucky escape as caravan blows up

A COUPLE from Widnes say they are lucky to be alive after the holiday
camp they were staying at was rocked by an explosion in a suspected arson attack.
Mike and Beryl Sylvester of Brandon were enjoying an evening with friends near their touring caravan at the Ty Mawr
camp site near Abergele at 10.50pm last Tuesday when a neighbouring caravan caught fire.
The blaze spread to the van’s gas bottles and caused a ‘massive’ explosion which rained down sparks and flames on the couple’s caravan and surrounding tents.
(personally I doubt the arson idea)
Family loses lot in caravan fire

A GRANDMOTHER and her three grandchildren lost everything including their Christmas presents when their caravan was reduced to ash in an early morning blaze at
Manoora yesterday.
Of course most caravan fires and explosions would not make the news or would not stay up on line for very long.
anybody else got stroies and pictures.
