Firefighters in Oxford have been called to tackle a caravan fire.

Two fire engines were sent to Old Abingdon Road after being alerted at 8.02pm.

The blaze created plumes of smoke which could be seen from across the city.

Didcot town councillor Tim Bedford said he was driving along the A34 from Oxford to Didcot when he saw a big black plume of smoke in the sky.

He said: "The plume was about 50 or 60ft high.

"It looked like a really big fire at first but as I got nearer it wasn’t that big, it was obviously just very toxic because it was very black.

"It looked as if the caravan was on fire, blocking the entrance to the travellers’ site.

"It looked completely burnt out, completely finished.

"The police arrived and then the firefighters and they started dealing with the blaze.”
