Two Scarborough fire crews were called out to a large blaze in a wooded area, near the A170, which was spreading to nearby hedges.

It is believed the fire on the evening of Thursday May 9 had been started deliberately.

Crews extinguished the fire using water from two hose reel jets with one appliance used to collect and ferry water from a nearby hydrant.

Crews also used ceiling hooks to expose hot spots and lighting equipment to enhance working capabilities.

The call-out was at 9.32pm.
