FIREFIGHTERS were called to reports of a chimney fire in a Ryedale village last night.
A crew from the Kirkbymoorside fire station went to the scene in the village of Salton, south of Kirkbymoorside, at 7.43pm.
The crew extinguished the chimney fire by removing a wood burning stove. They then checked for hotspots with a thermal camera.
The cause of the fire was an accumulation of soot.
