A Harrogate person went to hospital with a burnt arm yesterday when a barbecue got out of control.

Firefighters from Harrogate and Knaresborough were called to Stone Rings Lane, Rossett Green, at about 5.30pm, as temperatures soared close to 30 degrees centigrade.

According to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, flames spread from the barbecue on to nearby hedging and fencing.

Its incident log adds:

"Crews extinguished the fire, with the occupant attending hospital with an arm burn as a precaution."


Two hours later last night, Knaresborough and Harrogate firefighters responded to calls saying there was a small fire by the side of the A1 northbound near Knaresborough.

However, the incident log says that when they arrived they did not find a fire.

Temperatures are forecast to reach 27 degrees this afternoon and remain high all week.
