They were called at 7.12pm to the building on Barlby Road, Selby.

North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said: “Crews attended and found this to be a large rubbish fire within the building that had been started deliberately by youths

Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus put out the fire with a hose reel jet.

“Once extinguished crews discovered an acetylene cylinder was involved and proceeded to cool the cylinder for one hour,” the fire service said.
