FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze at a village pub in North Yorkshire yesterday evening (Friday).

Crews from Knaresborough, Harrogate and Acomb and appliances from Wetherby and Moortown dealt with the fire at a pub in Coneythorpe, near Knaresborough.

The incident was reported to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service shortly after 5pm.

A spokeswoman for the service was unable to confirm the name of the pub.

She said the fire involved a ground floor roof void.

Crews used an aerial ladder platform, main jets, breathing apparatus and hose reels to put out the fire.

The fire service revisited the pub this morning.
