Harrogate Borough Council has warned people to be careful disposing their household waste after a bin wagon caught fire in Knaresborough.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue responded to reports of smoke coming from the refuse collection vehicle on Manse Lane at 9.24am yesterday.
Firefighters from Harrogate and Knaresborough rushed to the scene where they worked with the binmen to tip out the waste in a safe location and extinguish the fire. Nobody is believed to have been hurt.
An investigation by the fire crews determined the cause was likely to be a chemical reaction.
