Busy Night for Firefighters on the Yorkshire Coast

Thursday, 17 October 2024 09:50

By Matthew Pells

The Fire and Rescue Service was called to incidents in Filey, Scarborough and Egton last night.

Firefighters on the Yorkshire Coast had a busy night shift on Wednesday 16th October, responding to a range of incidents in Filey, Scarborough, Whitby and Egton.

Filey

  • Firefighters from Filey responded to two incidents in the town. The first call came in at 18:20 to reports of a fire at a residential property. Fortunately, the fire was already extinguished when the crew arrived, and the incident was left in the hands of the police.
  • Later in the night, at 00:29, crews from Filey and Scarborough responded to a fire in a bedroom at a residential property. The fire, which involved a mattress and duvet, was also out on arrival. Firefighters dampened down the area and isolated the property's electrics. Two casualties were left in the care of ambulance crews for precautionary checks for smoke inhalation.

Scarborough

  • At 19:07, Scarborough crews responded to reports of debris falling from a roof. After inspecting the property, advice was given to the occupants.
  • Scarborough crews also assisted their colleagues from Filey in tackling the house fire at 00:29.

Egton

  • Whitby crews attended a fuel leak from a vehicle in Egton at 19:32. Firefighters sealed the leak and advised the vehicle owner, who was arranging recovery.

Fire crews from across North Yorkshire, including Filey, Scarborough, Malton, Knaresborough, Thirsk, York, Acomb, Ripon, Bedale and Harrogate also responded to numerous automatic fire alarms, all of which turned out to be false alarms.
