Gatwick Car Park Fire Damages 19 Cars

A fire in a car park used by travellers from Gatwick Airport has seriously damaged 19 cars.

Four appliances from West Sussex Fire and Rescue service attended the packed Gatwick Road open air car park in the early hours of Monday 13th October, called by a passer by.

The fire had initially only affected two of the parked cars but quickly spread to adjacent vehicles ultimately resulting in 19 cars becoming badly damaged. It is thought the most of the parked vehicles are owned by travellers who are now in for an unwelcome surprise when they return to retrieve their vehicles.
