Firefighters called to Ripon launderette blaze
Fire spread to a number of commercial washers and dryers at about 7.20pm last night.
Two fire crews from Ripon and one from Boroughbridge rushed to Ripon city centre last night following reports of smoke in a launderette.
After being summoned at about 7.20pm, they extinguished a fire that had spread to a number of commercial washers and dryers.
Firefighters used breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera to tackle the blaze.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log said:
"Crews then ventilated the heavily smoked logged building and gave advice to the owner.
"The cause of the fire was accidental."
