Crews were called to a chimney fire that was in danger of spreading at a house in the Easingwold area last night (Friday).

In their call to fire control at 8.27pm, the householder said there was a large amount of heat in the walls and floor and the plaster on the walls was beginning to crack.

Firefighters from Easingwold and Huntington went to the two storey house in Crayke.

They found the chimney well alight.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews worked to extinguish the fire using a hearth kit, a hose reel and small tools.

“Whilst investigating they found the fire to have spread into the airing cupboard and this was quickly extinguished with crews wearing breathing apparatus and a hose reel.

“Crews continued to investigate the property including the loft space, working to remove insulation to ensure no fire spread. This revealed heat to be found around the joists.

“They worked to expose the joists to extinguish any further spread.

“Crews will be revisiting the property later this morning and have assisted neighbours by conducting safe and well visits where they were able to fit smoke alarms to properties.”
