Busy day for fire crews across Yorkshire coast as campervan blaze, outdoor fires and lift rescue spark multiple callouts
Firefighters across North Yorkshire and Humberside dealt with a range of incidents on July 28, including a campervan fire, a major crop blaze, people trapped in a lift and several outdoor fires.
At 09:11, crews from Scarborough were mobilised to Scalby, where a campervan was on fire at a campsite. Firefighters used two hose reel jets to extinguish the blaze, with the cause believed to have been electrical.
NYFRS then attended two incidents in the Hunmanby area.
Crews assisted with scene safety after a road traffic collision on the A165 took place at approximately 12:54, blocking the road. This road has now been reopened.
Later, at 4:19pm, crews from across the region attended a 20 acre crop fire in Hunmanby. The fire has been put out; however, crews will be revisiting the site today, so the incident is still ongoing.

Later that evening, at 8:12pm, Pickering crew responded to reports of a fire in the open in Scarborough. Crews located and extinguished the fire using 02 knapsack sprayers and a bucket of water. The cause is believed to have been deliberately set by youths, and police were informed.
