Firefighters called to assist a trapped person and a trapped cat in Scarborough

The first call for assistance was received at 7.44pm when firefighters were called to a location off Northway.

A woman stated that she believed her cat, which had gone missing on Sunday, was trapped in a yard.

It was unknown if the cat was physically trapped by something so a crew was mobilised to investigate.

Upon arrival the cat made a hasty self-rescue from the yard back into the safe hands of it’s owner and no fire service assistance was required.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, at 12.25am, a Scarborough crew attended a property in Scalby where a female resident of a flat had become locked in her living room due to the door handle failing.

Crew gained access to flat and then released female from living room.

They used small tools and gave advice to the resident.
