A DOG was rescued from a house fire on Sunday.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said two crews from Malton and a fire officer were sent to the house in the Whitwell On The Hill area at about 10.30am.
A spokesman said the fire started in the kitchen and a neighbour was able to get into to the property to extinguish the fire - which had been caused by cooking left unattended - and rescue a dog.
The neighbour and the dog both received oxygen therapy from fire crews at the scene, and the firefighters left the scene at about 11.15am.
