Firefighters from across the district tackled what has been described as a 'serious fire' at an industrial site in the Burn area of Selby yesterday.

The blaze swept through wooden pallets at the site on Common Lane, Burn, at about 12.30pm - and endangered propane cylinders stored there.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus moved the cylinders to safety and tackled the flames with hose jets.

These images were posted on Twitter by Station Manager Tony Walker, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's station manager for York, Selby and Tadcaster.

"Pumps from across the district plus our colleagues from Snaith ...dealt with a serious fire in the Burn area of Selby," Tony Tweeted.

"No injuries but significant damage to the industrial site. Cause now under investigation."
