Firefighters tackle fire at children's nursery
FIREFIGHTERS battled a fire at a children's nursery in a York village.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say they were called out at 6.25am today (February 11) after reports of a fire in Copmanthorpe.
The call came in long before any children were on site.
A spokesman for the service said: "Crews from York, Acomb and Tadcaster attended a fire to a children's nursery.
"The fire is believed to have been caused accidently by an electrical appliance.
"Crews used four breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets, two thermal imaging cameras and a positive pressure ventilation fan to extinguish and clear smoke logging."
