Shocking video shows scale of devastation after blaze tore through holiday park near Clay Cross

Flames tore through Ainmoor Grange Caravan Park, Mickley Lane, Stretton, on Wednesday, March 27.

Piles of ash cover the metal structures that remain from what were the motor-homes.

A black plume of smoke could be seen for miles as firefighters from across the county urged residents to keep their windows closed and 'made an aggressive attack' on the fire, broke out at around 5.30am and was out by about 9am.

Officers managed to contain the blaze to a storage area of the site so nobody was harmed- but around 40 caravans were destroyed and another 40 damaged by heat, leaving their owners 'heartbroken'.
