FIRE crews were called to deal with a blaze in a ground floor flat in Ripon. The crews were called to the three storey building at 11.17pm on Tuesday night and safely extinguished the fire which was believed to have been caused by a faulty dishwasher. Earlier the same night, at 9.19pm, two crews from Northallerton attended a report of a baler on fire at Deighton. They used one hose reel to extinguish the fire which is believed to have started due to overheated bearings on the machine.
