Agricultural building badly damaged by fire
AN AGRICULTURAL building in North Yorkshire was badly damaged by a blaze.
Fire crews were called to reports of a building on fire in the village of Sinderby, near Thirsk, at about 6.30pm yesterday.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire caused 80 per cent damage to the building, measuring ten metres by six, and its contents.
"The cause is believed to be due to a spread from a nearby bonfire," the spokesman added.
Two hose reels, two breathing apparatus, thermal imaging cameras and small tools were used to deal with the fire.
