Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished a car fire on Otley Road in Harrogate this afternoon.

The blaze, which occurred at 3.27pm today, March 20, is believed to have occurred to an electric car outside Horticap garden centre.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said a crew from Harrogate used one hose reel jet to bring the fire under control.

An eyewitness told the Stray Ferret that emergency service workers closed Otley Road for a while and a diversion was put in place via Harrogate Police Station.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said in a statement:

"Crews from Harrogate attended an incident involving a small vehicle fire. Crews extinguished the fire and the scene was made safe."
