Group of child arsonists start second fire in Yorkshire woodland while firefighters are dealing with the first

A group of brazen children have started two fires in woods in Stokesley - the second while fire crews were fighting the first.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service tweeted: "Stokesley fire crew in attendance near The Firs newbuilds extinguishing a fire started by children in woods. While fire crew extinguishing, same children have started a second fire consisting of pallets and aerosols. Police now present. Details passed."

The fire service also detailed an incident in Stockon-on-the-Forest, near York, yesterday in which crews had to gain access to a locked car to rescue a four-week-old baby who had accidentally become stuck inside.

The service's other Easter weekend call-outs included a chlorine leak in the swimming pool at a Novotel in York.
