A LOG cabin in North Yorkshire has been damaged by a fire.

Fire crews were called to the fire to a two-storey log cabin, in Keldy Castle Road, Pickering, at about 2.30am today.

Crews put out the flames using a hose reel jet and breathing apparatus.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire affected the exterior of the cabin and is believed to have been caused by a barbecue being left too close to the cabin."
