Watch commander at Castleford David Smith said: "The caravans were in a locked compound in front of the company building.

"One caught fire and it spread to the other.

"Fortunately, we were able to protect the building from the fire.

"The cause is still under investigation."

No one has hurt in the incident. It is thought a nearby business raised the alarm.
