FIREFIGHTERS were called in to deal with an outdoor Christmas lights display which began giving off sparks in Ryedale last night.
The alarm was raised at The Green, in Thornton-le-Dale, at about 7.30pm, with crews from Pickering making sure the area was safe and disconnecting the light socket. North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the display had an electrical fault.
