A fire broke out in a North Yorkshire holiday home last night (Tuesday).
Fire crews from Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley responded to reports of smoke coming through a wall at a two-storey holiday home within woodland at Cropton, near Pickering.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “On arrival crews established the fire had started in the electrical box for an external hot tub before spreading to the adjoining house.
“The fire caused damage to approximately ten square metres of external cladding.”
They put out the fire and removed the remainder of the cladding from the front and side of the house.
