Harrogate firefighters respond to 2am hair straightener call
Harrogate firefighters were called out in the early hours of this morning to a report of a female locked out of her home where a pair of hair straighteners had been left turned on.
Fearing the straighteners could catch fire, the crew managed to get into the house via a first floor bedroom window — and discovered no straighteners had in fact been left turned on.
The call to the house on Hookstone Avenue came at 2.06am.
Earlier, firefighters from Knaresborough were called to a small fire in the open on Castlegate at 6.39pm.
They located the fire, which consisted of books and paper, and extinguished it using buckets of water.
