Fire crews on the scene off Ripon Road.

Fire crews have been called to a major blaze in Harrogate.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue were called to a property off Ripon Road at 3.20pm this afternoon, which is believed to be a barn.

The fire was visible from Little Wonder roundabout and smoke has been reported as being seen from the Bilton area.

Engines from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue remain at the scene. Crews told the Stray Ferret that a cause for the fire is yet to be established.

Traffic on Ripon Road continues to move while the service tackles the fire. However, queues are beginning to form as fire fighters put hoses in place to tackle the fire.
