'Hooligan' releases two people from outbuilding in Scarborough
Two people have been released from an outbuilding in Scarborough after its locking mechanism failed.
A Scarborough fire crew was called to a property on Ash Grove at 12.34am this morning (July 1) after reports were received that two people had become trapped inside an outbuilding due to a failed locking mechanism.
Crews used a hooligan tool to release them unharmed.
Earlier in the evening, at 9.23pm, crews from Stokesley and Danby were mobilised to reports of a fire in a wooded area at Kildale.
Crews used one extending hose reel jet and wild fire tools to extinguish.
This incident is still being monitored by crews to ensure no further hotspots.
Also on Tuesday (June 30), at 10.59am, a crew from Scarborough responded to a report of fire in woodland at Staintondale.
This was a fire measuring approximately 4m x 4m and was extinguished and dampened down.
Crews then carried out a thermal scan to confirm there were no hotspots.
