A woman and two children have died in a fire in a caravan near Lingfield, Surrey.
The blaze broke out at The Plantation mobile home site in West Park Road, Newchapel, overnight.
A man and another child were treated for burns at the scene, Surrey Police said.
The child has since been taken to the East Surrey Hospital in Redhill. A joint investigation between the police and fire service has been launched.
A police spokeswoman said: "Surrey Police and Surrey Fire and Rescue units are currently at the scene, which remains cordoned off while enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the fire continue."
The local authority, Tandridge District Council, said the site was used by members of the Showmen's Guild.
The guild seeks to "protect the interests of its members - travelling showmen who gain their livelihoods by attending funfairs," according to its website.

People here say the caravan park consists of about 50 mobile homes over 16 acres and has been here 20 years.
We do not know the ages of the children killed, although we were told by a neighbour they were young.
A spokeswoman for the fire service said it was called to the fire at 01:37 GMT.
"The fire was extinguished using hose reels, however, three people - two children and one adult - died," she said.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends involved at this tragic time."
Tandridge District Council said in a statement it "is aware of the tragic fire at The Plantation early this morning", adding it had "no role in the management of the site, which is in private ownership".
"We understand that the fire and police services are currently investigating the circumstances of the fire," it continued.
"The council has no direct involvement in this investigation but will assist if our services are required in any way."
