A CAMPERVAN fire spread to the roof space of a nearby home in Beggarwood in the early hours of this morning (Thursday, April 22).
Crews from Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Odiham and Overton were called to Old Beggarwood Lane at 3.43am and found a campervan well-alight.
The fire had spread to an adjacent three-storey property and was extinguished using 12 breathing apparatus, three main jets and two hose reel jets.
