Fire crews have responded to fires in two York city centre properties today (Saturday, 25 June).
The first was at 7.47am when smoke and sparks were coming from a cupboard in a home on Stonebow.
Firefighters found that there was a small fire to the central heating pump which was out on their arrival. “Advice was given to a responsible person on site,” the fire service said.
Then at 1.32pm, crews from York, Acomb, Huntington and Tadcaster responded to a report of an alarm sounding and a strong smell of smoke coming from a flat on Skeldergate.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “On arrival crews gained entry to the flat and located a small fire caused by a wok that had been left on the hob unattended.
“Crews removed the wok from the hob and ventilated the flat. Advice was given to a responsible person.”
