AN INVESTIGATION has been launched after a mobile home went up in flames.
Firefighters were called to Creek Road, Canvey, around 4pm today and found the home fully alight.
Crews evacuated nearby mobile homes as a precaution and were eventually able to extinguish the blaze by 5.20pm.
A man and a woman were left in the care of the ambulance service after they breathed in smoke.
A spokesman for the fire service says investigators are now looking at how the fire started.
