The fire broke at the caravan park on McKenzie Road just after 11.30 pm on Monday night. There were people in another parts of the park, but not in the affected units.
Eight CFA trucks from seven brigades attended: Mansfield, Bonnie Doon, Goughs Bay-Howes Creek, Maindample, Booroolite & District, Glenroy/Merrijig and Jamieson.

A number of trees were impacted and are being assessed for safety.
A fire investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of the fire.
