Fire at Tadcaster barn

A FIRE has caused extensive damage to a barn near Tadcaster.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the blaze at the straw-filled barn in Gorse Lane just before 1am on Saturday.

Crews were on site for several hours as they tried to bring the fire under control.

A spokeswoman for the service said a tractor was being used to try to drag some of the 25 tonnes of straw away from the tin-roofed barn, which measures about 20m by 10m.

Two appliances from Tadcaster and one from Selby were at the scene, with support from an aerial appliance.
