Crews used four breathing apparatus, two 45mm jets, a standpipe and a hose reel jet to extinguish the fire and positive pressure ventilation to ventilate the property.

Crews requested the attendance of the Northern Powergrid to isolate the electrics in the property.

Later in the day, at 10.52pm, both Scarborough appliances responded to a single vehicle road traffic collision on the A165 near Filey, where a car had driven into a hedge and one occupant of the vehicle was reported trapped inside.

Crews arrived on scene and liaised with paramedics already in attendance who confirmed one occupant was out on arrival and the other climbed out the back of vehicle, both with minor injuries.

Fire crews assisted with scene safety before leaving the incident.
