Yorkshire coast fire crews kept busy in Scarborough and Bridlington after woodland, house and vehicle fires
Fire crews across North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire have responded to a series of incidents in recent days, including house fires, vehicle and agricultural fires, deliberate woodland burning and a child becoming stuck in a play-area swing.
Three treated after Bridlington building fire
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service crews were called to Queen Street, Bridlington, on September 19 following a building fire involving an extractor fan.
Crews tackled the blaze using four breathing apparatus, a hose reel and a thermal imaging camera.
Three adults were reported to be suffering from smoke inhalation, with two taken to hospital by ambulance crews for further treatment.
The property was reported to have sustained 100% fire damage.
In a separate incident in High Street, Flamborough on Monday, September 21, firefighters dealt with an overheated pressure cooker on a gas stove.
The appliance was removed from the heat source and taken outside to cool. Firefighters used a lock breaker to gain access to the property and isolated all utilities. Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus were involved in dealing with the incident.
Fires attended across North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (NYFRS) crews have also dealt with a number of incidents across Scarborough and surrounding areas.
On Friday, September 18, Scarborough crews were called to a small fire in Osgodby at around 11.15am.
The fire covered an area of approximately 5m by 5m and had been left unattended. Crews extinguished it using a hose reel jet and hand tools.
At 11.48am, firefighters were called to Wykeham Forest, where a fire measuring around 2m by 2m had been discovered by a forestry researcher.
Crews extinguished the fire using knapsack sprayers. The service said the fire was believed to have been started deliberately and police were informed.
During the early hours of Saturday, September 19, a Scarborough crew attended Bridge Street, Pickering, at around 1.52am to assist police.
Fire and rescue equipment was required to gain access to an area, with firefighters using small tools before leaving the scene in the care of police.
Car and bush fires attended
On Sunday, September 20, crews were called to Foxholes at around 1.05pm following reports of a car fire.
The vehicle suffered 100% fire damage. Firefighters used one breathing apparatus and a hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze and dampen down the area.
The vehicle was subsequently left with its owner to arrange recovery.
Later that afternoon, at around 2.51pm, Scarborough crews attended a report of a bush fire in a play park at Barrowcliffe, Scarborough.
Firefighters found a fire measuring approximately 1m by 3m and extinguished it using one hose reel jet.
Tractor fire in Staxton

Child freed from swing at Falsgrave Park
Later on Monday, at around 6.40pm, firefighters were called to Falsgrave Park after a young person became stuck in a baby swing.
Crews were able to release the child using crew power and provided advice at the scene.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said crews encounter similar incidents several times each year, with older children using swings that are not designed for their age group.
The service advised members of the public to ensure play-area equipment is used appropriately to help prevent similar incidents.
