Then at about 1.20am, they were called to Trafalgar Square, where a property had flooded, affecting the electrics.

Shortly before 5am, reports came in from the police that a large tree had fallen onto a bungalow in Parkin Avenue, Selby.

Fire crews from Selby, York and Tadcaster were sent to the scene but on arrival, found that the tree had missed the home, with no-one trapped or injured.
