Fire crews were called out after a tree was deliberately set on fire in York.

Firefighters from Acomb were called to Cornwall Drive at 8.57pm last night (Sunday).

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “They extinguished a tree on fire located on a sports field.

“Crews used two knapsack sprayers at this incident. The cause of the fire was deliberate.”
