    About 70 pheasants were killed today after gas cylinders caught fire near Ripon.

    Firefighters from Ripon, Knaresborough and Harrogate rushed to Aldfield, which is about four miles west of Ripon, at 11.36am.

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

    "Crews located five propane gas cylinders well alight that then spread to nearby pheasant sheds.
    "Crews extinguished the fire before cooling the cylinders and damping down hotspots.
    "The fire resulted in 100% fire damage to all of the cylinders, fire damage to a number of the pheasant sheds and approximately 70 pheasants died."


    Last month more than 32,000 chickens were killed in a fire at commercial premises near Upper Dunsforth in the Harrogate district.
