Three fire crews tackled the blaze yesterday morning.
Both crews from Scarborough and a crew from Whitby responded to a holiday home with its roof cavity well alight.
The Fire Service say that it was caused by a faulty halogen light on the outside of the property melting into the cladding and insulation.
Crews used a 9 metre ladder, triple exterior ladder and roof ladder to access and remove roof tiles so that the fire could be extinguished.
The Crews used hose reel jets and a main jet to achieve this while wearing breathing apparatus equipment.
They also used a selection of tools and a thermal imaging camera to inspect for hotspots and say that advice was given to the owner of property.
North Yorkshire Fore and Rescue say it was called out to the incident just after 08:30am on Wednesday 14th February.
