Chimney fire at Boar's Head in Ripley
Firefighters were called to Ripley this morning to deal with a chimney fire at the Boar's Head.
A fire was lit at the inn, which has 23 bedrooms, at 7.30am and began billowing smoke shortly afterwards.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service was summoned at about 8am and the incident was quickly under control. There was no damage to the wider building.
Three fire engines, including the aerial ladder platform, attended.
The inn, which has a bar, snug and dining room, is part of the Ripley Castle estate.
Harrogate Fire Station used the incident to issue a reminder about the importance of regular chimney sweeping.
