GAS cylinders are believed to be the cause of a fire that engulfed a mobile home and car in Lydeard St Lawrence, near Taunton.

Fire crews from Williton and Taunton were called to the incident in Tolland around 10.10pm last night (March 2) and found the mobile home and a car well alight.

The mobile home was completely destroyed by the blaze and the car was severely damaged.

Fire crews isolated and cooled three large propane gas cylinders that were thought to be involved in the fire. 

The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.
