A serious fire at Day’s Motorpark in Gorseinon, Swansea, has destroyed or damaged greater than 20 vehicles, including motorhomes, vans, and cars.
The blaze broke out on Thursday August 29 on the dealership situated on Swansea Road, prompting a large-scale emergency response.
The hearth, which is believed to have began by accident, sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky, with dramatic images capturing the enormous dinosaur model on the dealership’s forecourt engulfed in smoke.
Firefighters were called to the scene at around 2:15pm, deploying five fire engines and a specialist appliance to combat the flames.
A 25-year-old man sustained injuries in the fireplace but was treated by paramedics on-site and didn’t suffer any serious harm.
The blaze caused extensive damage, with seven motorhomes completely destroyed and 6 others severely damaged. 4 cars, eight vans, and a minibus were also damaged.
As a precaution, several nearby buildings were evacuated, and police assisted firefighters in managing traffic, resulting in the closure of a bit of Swansea Road.
Residents in the world were advised to remain indoors and keep their windows and doors closed.
Fire crews remained on the scene until 4:50pm to make sure the fireplace was fully extinguished and the world was protected.
