FIREFIGHTERS raced to reports of a fire in a field near Askham Lane just before 9.30pm last night - only to find a householder had already taken things into their own hands.
The fire had been spreading to a garden fence.
"On arrival the fire had already been extinguished by the resident using a garden hosepipe," a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said.
