Fire service called to vehicle on fire on A1

Fire crews from Thirsk, Ripon and Boroughbridge responded to a report of a vehicle towing a caravan on fire last night.

The incident happened at about 8.50pm on the A1 near Dishforth.

Firefighters located the vehicle in the live lane of the carriageway that had suffered a small fire in the engine compartment.

The fire was out on the arrival of fire crews.

Crews used a hose reel jet to cool the engine and a thermal imaging camera to check for hot spots.

Firefighters then assisted highways officers to move both the vehicle and the caravan from the carriageway.
