Two Manningtree residents had a close escape from the recent arson attacks in the town.
Two caravans were set alight just the other side of their garden wall - in their words "scary stuff".
They kindly sent in these two pictures of the flames which show the intensity of the blaze.
They wrote: "We were very lucky that our brick wall saved us from extensive damage suffered by other poor souls."
