From FIA:
A fire at a caravan holiday park near Hastings, East Sussex, has led to the deaths of a man and a woman in their 40s.
Firefighters from East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were called to the blaze at Combe Haven caravan park 10.10pm on Saturday (August 13th), but the pair were pronounced dead at the location.
A spokesperson for the caravan park, which was located in the town of St Leonards has said that the deceased had owned the caravan since 2007.
Under Fire Safety Legislation, a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment - which aims to find and negate fire hazards - must be conducted on all sleeping accommodations, such as holiday caravan parks.
If the fire risk assessment is carried out to an insufficient extent, the Duty Holder can face a prison spell of up to two years, or an unlimited fine.
At this time of year when caravans are popular as holiday accomodation, it is imperative that a working Fire Alarm is in place and good Fire Safety principles are put in place by occupants.
