“It was touch and go whether we’d be able to save the neighbouring cabins”, firefighter Cameron Edward said about a fire at Redhead Beach Caravan Park on Wednesday. “When we got there the fire was so intense the roof was already down and the cabins on either side were under threat. We got two hoses working straight away to stop it spreading. To make matters worse, we quickly found there were no hydrants within the Caravan Park, so the only water we had was that in the tank on the truck.”
