    A shed on Harrogate's Kingsley Road that burnt to the ground last night is believed to have been set alight deliberately.

    Harrogate and Knaresborough fire crews responded to a call just before 6.45pm last night. The crews used three tanks of water to extinguish the fire.

    The derelict shed was completely destroyed.

    North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log it said the cause was "believed deliberate by youths in the area".



    Harrogate Fire Station posted this statement on its Facebook page last night:

    "This evening both Harrogate and Knaresborough fire crews were called out to a derelict shed on fire on Kingsley Road, Harrogate.
    "Fire was put out using one hose reel jets and a ceiling hook."
