A large field fire near Stokesley was started deliberately, says North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (NYFRS).
A fire crew from Stokesley was called to the incident at 5pm yesterday near Hilton Road, Seamer.
After arriving they requested assistance from colleagues from Cleveland Fire and Rescue Service.
A NYFRS spokesperson said: “Coulby Newham and Thornaby crews attended and they worked together to tackle a fire to a stubble field measuring around 150m x 200m.
“Crews used four hose reels and beaters to tackle and extinguish the fire.
“The cause is thought to have been deliberate.”
