There were numerous call-outs across our region on Christmas Eve night.
Just before 7pm, a crew from Whitby was called to carry out a check for gas in a property for Police and Ambulance stuff to enter safely. Fire crew used two breathing apparatus and a gas detector.
Officers then attended Langdale Road in Scarborough just after 9.35pm. Crews gained entry to a property to assess the elderly homeowner who had fallen inside and was unable to get up. An ambulance was requested and the gentleman was helped back to bed.
Then before 10pm, on Belvedere Road in Scarborough, officers responded to reports of a house fire. On arrival, crew confirmed a small fire in a void behind the gas fire and they extinguished it using a hose reel.
At just before 4am, in the early hours of Christmas Day, a crew from Whitby dealt with a small rubbish fire, in the open, using a hose reel jet.
It was a largely quiet day for officers on the Yorkshire Coast, with the only other local call being to a bin fire at St Helen’s Square in Scarborough.A crew from the town extinguished a fire in a commercial wheelie bin. The cause remains unknown.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
Scarborough and Whitby's Member of Parliament, Alison Hume, has announced her intention to launch a petition to campaign for the return of stroke services to the Yorkshire Coast.
