The blaze started in a parked car before spreading to the camper next to it fanned by blustery winds.
A vehicle parked behind it was also reported to have been badly melted.

A local business owner said that it was her campervan that had been destroyed, according to the Falmouth Packet.
She wrote on Facebook: “It was my campervan. A car on fire set my van on fire and melted car behind.”
Cornwall Fire Service said it received calls at about 3.40pm.
