    Harrogate fire station has urged people to ensure they have working smoke alarms after attending a fire this morning.

    Fire ripped through the roof of a bungalow but fortunately nobody was hurt because the alarm sounded.

    The incident took place at 2am in York and the aerial ladder from Harrogate was required to help firefighters from York and Huntington tackle the flames.

    An investigation is underway.

    Harrogate fire station said the blaze, at a time when most people are sleeping, served as a warning to everyone to check their smoke alarms.

    It said in a Facebook post:

    "In the early hours of today, we were at a house fire. Luckily the occupants had working smoke alarms and got out safely.
    "Please make sure yours work if you have them and if not you can contact you local fire station to see about getting some fitted."


    Smoke alarms are free. You can book for them to be installed here.
