Two appliances from Newquay and Wadebridge were initially mobilised to the incident.

Following several calls reporting that the fire had spread from the vehicle to a nearby property, a third appliance from Padstow was mobilised.

Upon arrival, crews found a camper van fully alight, with the fire having extended to a residential building. A fourth appliance was subsequently requested from Newquay.

Firefighters used six breathing apparatus sets, two hose reel jets, one safety jet, one covering jet, three thermal imaging cameras, a triple extension ladder, and a positive pressure ventilation fan to bring the fire under control.

It has been confirmed that no injuries were reported.

All resources left the scene at 19:20.
