Flooded property, caravan on fire and nine square metre bonfire: Scarborough callouts keep fire service busy this week
This week the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (NYFRS) has been busy with a variety of callouts in Scarborough, ranging from flooding to a caravan on fire.
On November 12 at 16:07pm, crews from Scarborough responded to a caravan on fire, located on Ryndle Crescent.
On arrival the caravan was found to be well alight, meaning that crews had to use two hose reel jets to extinguish the fire then dampened down using pitchforks and small tools. There was 100% fire damage to the caravan and the incident was left with police.
Earlier that day, at 04:42am Crews from Sherburn and Scarborough responded to a fire located in Seamer, Scarborough
The fire was sighted in the open by a passing police car. This was found to be a unattended bonfire measuring nine square meters and was extinguished by the crew using one hose reel jet.
On November 11, at 23:41pm Scarborough’s crew was called out to a property on St Johns Road that was beginning to flood. Due to rainfall, the basement of the property was starting to flood. The crew was able to pump water out of two properties on the street using a light portable pump and two hoses.
