Crews tackled a residential fire which destroyed two caravans last night (Thursday).
Firefighters from Malton were called to the incident at Duggleby, the Ryedale village between Malton and Driffield, at 6.53pm.
The fire began in a caravan on a drive of the house.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “This fire quickly spread to a second caravan, a shed and a skip located in close proximity.
“The fire then burnt through a live electricity cable which fell on to the fire ground coming to rest on top of the skip.”
Firefighters put out the fire to the caravans and the shed with two hose reel jets.
“They then stood by awaiting the arrival of the electricity board to isolate the power.
“Once this was done crews then further extinguished the fire to the skip.
” Both caravans were 100% fire damaged. The shed suffered only slight fire damage.”
