One person suffered burns as fire broke out in Tadcaster this morning (Wednesday).
Fire crews from Tadcaster, York, Selby and an aerial ladder platform from Harrogate were despatched to the incident at a bottling plant on the High Street at 9.06am.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “This was a fire to an electrical distribution unit within a bottling plant, caused by an engineer drilling through a live wire.
“The fire was contained to the unit, and out on arrival of fire crews. The fire caused light smoke logging.
“Crews carried out an inspection and provided first aid to the engineer, who was then taken to hospital via road ambulance for further treatment for electrical burns to their hands.”
