A RAPPER from Haverfordwest has told The Herald how he lost everything in a dramatic caravan fire on Boxing Day morning (Dec 26).
The blaze in Cwmpengraig near Newcastle Emlyn was thought to have been caused by a chip pan.
Kerne Spiralson, known to local music fans as M-Power, says that he wishes to promote the dangers of chip pans.
Speaking to The Herald on Monday (Jan 2) he said: “The fire was quite devastating. There were 4m high flames, I was just in shock.
“I couldn’t really think. Someone staying in a neighouring caravan used his quick thinking and cut the gas bottle off and dragged it away, thereby avoiding a potential explosion.”
He added: “I’ve been living in that specific caravan for a year and a half. The things inside were all my possessions collected over the last eight years. My girlfriend was luckily away with family at the time.
“I owned the caravan, and rented the land it was parked on.”
It was only a matter of minutes until the LE Mistral GT caravan was reduced to a pile of smouldering ashes.
People at the campsite tried to fight the fire with extinguishers and water. However, the blaze took hold so fast and the location was so remote, that residents decided there was no point in calling the fire brigade.
Friends of Mr Spiralson have set up a GoGetFunding page to try and get the musician new accommodation and basic essentials.
So far, nearly £1,000 has been raised on the crowdfunding website.
