    Firefighters were called to a home on Harrogate's Cold Bath Road last night when a napkin in a toaster caused a blaze.

    North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log said help was summoned at 7.25pm. It adds:

    "Crews attended a fire in a residential building. Fire was caused by a napkin inside a toaster. Fire was out on arrival.
    "Minor fire damage to toaster and napkin. Crews gave resident advice."


    In a busy night for the fire and rescue service, firefighters were later called to a single vehicle collision near Summerbridge in which a man was taken to hospital with suspected pelvic injuries.

    The collision occurred at 9.25pm at Middlesmoor. The incident log says:

    "One male was trapped and crews extricated him using hydraulic cutting gear. Male is believed to have pelvis injuries and was taken to hospital."


    Firefighters were also called when a children's toy car caught fire in a rear yard off Market Place, Ripon, shortly after 6pm. The fire was out on arrival.
