A leak is believed to have caused a propane cylinder in the front of a caravan in Saltaire to catch fire.

Shipley firefighters were called to garages in Caroline Street, between Edward Street and Amelia Street, at about 1.30pm yesterday.

A West Yorkshire Fire Service spokesman said a propane cylinder in the front of the caravan had caught fire.

He said the owner of the caravan, who received minor burns in the incident, had managed to put a towel around the cylinder and carry it out of the caravan while it was on fire.
