A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews fought the fire using four hose reel jets and one main jet.
“Six breathing apparatus wearers were used to gain closer proximity and remove structures to gain better access to the seat of the fire.
“The incident was sectorised to enhance the use of resources in attendance and utilities to the building were isolated by crews when liaising with onsite staff.
“Crews used the water bowser from Boroughbridge as a main water source as no water supplies were available at the site of the incident.
“Control informed the environmental agency of potential fire water runaway and kept them updated whilst the incident remained ongoing.
“The cause is still under investigation.”
