Two fire crews from Ripon and one from Boroughbridge rushed to Ripon city centre last night following reports of smoke in a launderette.

After being summoned at about 7.20pm, they extinguished a fire that had spread to a number of commercial washers and dryers.

Firefighters used breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera to tackle the blaze.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log said:

"Crews then ventilated the heavily smoked logged building and gave advice to the owner.
"The cause of the fire was accidental."
