Firefighters tackle house fire, road collision and animal rescues across Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington
Firefighters were called to a range of incidents across the Yorkshire coast on Thursday, July 2, including fires, a road traffic collision and animal rescues
The first incident of the day was at 12:12pm, when a crew from Scarborough attended reports of a fire in the open on Endcliff Crescent, Scarborough. On arrival, firefighters found one small fire and used a hose reel jet to extinguish it.
Later in the day, at 17:49pm, a crew from Whitby responded to Aislaby, Whitby, following a request from Police to assist in clearing oil from the roadway after a road traffic collision. Crews used Drizzit pads and a hose reel jet to clear the road before leaving the incident in the hands of Police.
At 19:19pm, firefighters from Lythe attended a fire inside a residential property in Staithes. The fire had already been extinguished before the crew arrived. Firefighters removed the items involved in the fire from the property and dampened them down.
A crew from Scarborough was then called to Iris Close, Burniston, at 21:06pm, where a young cat had become trapped beneath a garden shed. Firefighters used spreaders to move the shed, safely released the cat and reunited it with its owner.
Early the following morning (July 3), at 06:33am, a crew from Sherburn responded to a fire sighted in the yard of a property in West Heslerton. The incident was still ongoing at the time of publication.
