Man Dies in Caravan Fire

Caravan owners are being warned to take extra care following a fatal blaze in Llangollen last week.

Alan Jones, who was in his 40s and from Whiston, Liverpool, died when fire engulfed a caravan late on Monday February 13 at Abbey Farm, Llangollen.

John Gittins, acting North-East Wales coroner, said an inquest for Alan John Jones, 40, was opened and adjourned last week.

He said: “A post-mortem has been conducted by Dr Mared Owen-Casey at Wrexham Maelor Hospital and the cause of death has been deferred until an inquest. The inquest has been adjourned to a date to be fixed.”

Mr Jones’ death has evoked comparisons with a caravan fire in Barmouth last June which resulted in the deaths of Robert Taylor, 58, and his son Andrew, 26, when a coiled up extension generated heat and started the fire.
