See Brue's post.

I dare say both caravans and MHs were involved but It's the terrible event that matters, not the type of unit.

Yes terrible event and thankfully the report says there were no casulties, but when you see a pitch with a motor home the size of a 90 seater coach on a pitch with a lounge built on the side that had a sofa and chairs that would probably not have fit in my lounge , together with a trailer that obviously carried all the metal used to build the lounge and a car, which, had a trailer on the adjacent pitch and the two were almost touching, you know if things go wrong they are going to go horribly wrong.

BN seemed to have a policy of "if you have paid for a pitch you can do what the heck you like within the boundaries of the pitch", you should visit BN during June/July/August when the Spanish come out to play, then it is probably more caravan orientated, this is a real eye opener., especially when they have very large open BBQ's  actually out in the road between the pitches, and this is at 0100 hrs in the morning.

Have used this site a lot but after experiencing a minor BBQ fire a couple of years back, and seeing how they were packing them in I changed sites, but it is difficult to find a Spanish site that does have suitable seperation in place. 

were they caravans or MH's,?, I did visit the site in December 22 and it was rammed with predominantly MH's and one of the big problems was, you had a very large MH on pitch together with a very large trailor, so not only was the seperation not in place between pitches, you also had pitches that were rammed with a MH plus a very large trailor, car, and in some cases a couple of motor cycles, and people were sat outside around an open pit fire, disaster waiting to happen, there was also a lack of fire extinguishers that were working.

All the more reason to use sites with sensible spacing.
