FIREFIGHTERS rushed to a York home this morning, after reports a washing machine had caught fire.
Fire crews from both York and Acomb responded to the unidentified address at just after 11am.
“Crews from York and Acomb attended reports of a washing machine smouldering inside a residential property,” a spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said.
“Crews extinguished the smoke using a foam extinguisher and ventilated the property. The washing machine was removed from the property to make it safe.”
