Caravan park owners send sympathy after fatal fire
BBCThe owners of a holiday park where two people died in a caravan fire have expressed their "deepest sympathies" to the victims' families.
Emergency services were called to Golden Beach Holiday Park, in Roman Bank, Ingoldmells, after a fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday.
Lincolnshire Police said an investigation had begun into the cause of the blaze, with officers "keeping an open mind".
In a statement the park's owners said: "On behalf of everyone at Golden Beach Holiday Park we would like to send our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families and friends affected by today's tragic events.
"We would like to thank all the emergency services for their help and continued support. We ask for patience and privacy whilst they carry out their investigations," they added.
On Sunday a number of people came to the park on Sunday to lay floral tributes.
Jack Price, who works at the Sandancer pub, in Ingoldmells said the two people killed in the fire were regular visitors.
"They weren't just customers to us," he said.
"Everyone behind the bar knew them. They were coming in every weekend [we] always just had a good chat, and [at the] end of every night was a handshake, a hug and see you tomorrow."
The pub has set up an online fundraiser to help raise money for the funeral costs.
Ruth Dorrin, who donated to the appeal, said: "It's just so sad and when you've got little ones, it's just heart breaking.
"You're meant to come on holiday to enjoy yourself, aren't you? It's just… you can't put into words."
Police were called to the caravan park at 03:53 BST on Saturday to reports of a caravan fire.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said five crews from Skegness, Wainfleet, Spilsby and Alford attended the scene.
Crime Scene Investigators were on site on Saturday while police determined the cause of the fire.
A police statement said: "We are at the very early stages of our investigation and as such we are keeping an open mind."
