People living in a Norfolk village have expressed their despair after a fire ripped through a former holiday park.
Six fire crews rushed to the former Pontins Site in Hemsby in the early hours of Thursday morning to tackle the blaze.
Pictures taken from near to the site off Beach Road show the holiday park engulfed in flames.
The latest fire is one of a long list of incidents which firefighters have been called out to in recent years.
Doreen and Barry Caulder, who live near to the site, said they did not hear the fire on Thursday morning but were not surprised it had happened.
"We moved to Hemsby five years ago because it was a nice little village," Mr Caulder said.
"What is going on at this site is not acceptable.
"I've seen the development proposals but the reality is it's too late.
"We can't win anymore."
Last month Great Yarmouth Borough Council approved controversial plans to build nearly 200 homes on the site.
This was despite objections being lodged by residents, Hemsby Parish Council and Great Yarmouth MP Brandon Lewis - all adamant the land should be retained for holiday use.
One holidaymaker who has owned a chalet at the neighbouring Florida holiday park for 16 years described the current situation as sad.
She said: "It's such a shame to know in years gone by the holiday park was full of tourists.
"The fires seem to happen on such a regular basis they're not a surprise anymore."
The holidaymaker, who was in Hemsby with her partner and two children, hopes the site is used for tourism.
Thursday's fire is believed to have started in the old theatre in the main building.
In June, this newspaper revealed Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service were called to 14 fires at Pontins in the last five years.
The most serious was in August last year when 90 firefighters battled a blaze at the main clubhouse of the 2,440-capacity holiday park.
A single, basic call-out for the fire service costs around £300.
Fire crews remained on scene on Thursday morning and smoke was still visible.
A number of holes could also be seen in the fencing which surrounds the holiday park with cans and bottles of beer scattered close by.
A spokesman for Norfolk Fire and Rescue said an investigation would be launched into the incident with the cause not yet known.
Owners of the site - which has been derelict since 2008 - Northern Trust, have been contacted for comment.
