Scarborough firefighters called out to make buildings safe, as high winds buffet the coast

A team was sent to a property at 4.15pm yesterday after reports of loose rendering falling from the building.

They cordoned off the area and used an aerial ladder platform to remove the rest of the loose material to prevent any further danger.

On Friday, teams from Scarborough and Robin Hood's Bay were deployed to a commercial building off St Nicholas Street at 3.40pm on Friday to make a wooden railing of the seventh floor safe.

They used a rope rescue kit to carry out the task.

Earlier the same afternoon - at 2.26pm - firefighters had been called to Princess Street in Scarborough to concerns a chimney was collapsing.

This turned out to be a false alarm after high winds had blown a cowl off.
