A FISH and chip shop in Whitby has been hit by a fire.
Firefighters were called to the business in New Quay Road this morning following reports of flames from the roof.
A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service said the blaze started in a frying range and spread to the extractor system.
She said staff extinguished the fire in the range but firefighters were needed to put out the blaze in the extractor pipes.
She said there was fire damage to the ground floor, including the range, and smoke damage to the rest of the three storey building.
