Firefighters were called out to tackle a huge blaze which broke out at a scrap yard in Pocklington on Saturday morning.

It happened just off the A1079 York Road.

Huge plumes of smoke could be seen from miles away, and people living nearby were asked to keep their doors and windows closed.

Crews used an aerial ladder platform and a high volume pump in their efforts to put out the fire.
