Firefighters were called last night to deal with two vehicles that had been deliberately set alight in Knaresborough.

A fire crew from the town was summoned to Maundy Grove at 10.22pm.

According to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log, they used two hose reel jets and breathing apparatus to tackle the blaze.

No further details are available.

In a separate incident last night, firefighters were alerted to reports of a fire in woodland on Harlow Moor Road in Harrogate.

The incident log, which says the call was received at 5.53pm, adds:

"This turned out to be a camp fire well supervised. Fire service not required."
