FIREFIGHTERS have tackled a fire at a stubble field in Ryedale.

Crews from Malton, Sherburn, Knaresborough and York were called to the fire in Norton, near Malton, at around 5.20pm on Sunday.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had started in a combine harvester. It then spread to a stubble field and straw on the ground. 

Crews used five hose reels, beaters, and an all terrain appliance from Kirkbymoorside to put out the blaze.
