Firefighters cordoned off an area outside a building in North Yorkshire after part of a canopy fell off.

A crew was on the scene in St Nicholas Cliff, Scarborough, at 2.55pm today (Thursday, February 15).

They put a cordon in place to keep the public safe and told the owner to contact the contractor responsible for the structure, a North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.

“A crew from Scarborough cordoned off an area outside a building for public safety after a piece of canopy had fallen off,” they explained.

“Crews gave advice to owner and told to contact with a contractor.”
