It’s been in the North Yorkshire city for almost 50 years.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Two crews from Ripon responded to reports of a fire in a scrapyard involving 2m by 4m of scrap.

“Crews used four breathing apparatus, three 45mm jets, a thermal imaging camera and lighting, as well as a digger, to extinguish the fire.

“This was believed to be caused by a battery within the scrap pile.”
