Fire fighters called to kitchen fire in a house in Malton
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue were called to a kitchen fire in a house in Malton last night.
The incident happened shortly before 6pm on Wharram Le Street in Malton on Tuesday April 26.
Both crews in Malton responded to reports of a fire in a kitchen, which has caused damage to the cooker and kitchen cabinets.
Fire crews extinguished the fire using a hose reel and then dismantled kitchen units checking for hot spots.
The cause of the fire is believed to be a fault in the fuel supply to the cooker.
During the night, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue also responded to a faulty cooker ignition in Whitby, and crews isolated the power to the ignition to prevent a fire.
