A WOMAN was taken to hospital after a chip pan fire.
The fire was confined to the kitchen of the property in The Carrs, Whitby and it was already out when fire crews from Lythe and Robin Hoods Bay attended the scene shortly after 6.30pm last night.
The occupants had already escaped from the building and one woman was taken to hospital for a check up.
The fire crews, wearing breathing apparatus, used one hose reel and a thermal imaging camera to ensure the property was safe.
The householders were given fire safety advice by the crews.
