Crews from Thirsk[2] and Ripon[3] were called to the A168 near Dishforth at 9.34pm on Wednesday (29 December) to a Heavy Good Vehicle with its brakes on fire.

The fire was out on the arrival of the fire service.

The North Yorkshire[4] Fire and Rescue Service incident log said: “Crews used a hose reel jet to dampen down the brakes and used a thermal imagining camera to check for no remaining heat spots on the vehicle.”
