One hundred sheep rescued as barn catches fire in Ryedale

Fire crews responded to a farm fire in Ryedale early this morning.

Crews from Helmsley and Malton went to the incident in Hovingham at 1.10am.

Initially the call was to a forklift on fire.

A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Upon arrival of the fire service the fire was discovered to have spread to a barn adjacent to it, which contained approximately 100 sheep.

“The fire was extinguished using two-hose reel jet and all of the live stock within the barn were rescued and free of any harm.”
