FIREFIGHTERS were called to a house in Cononley this afternoon after the occupant smelled smoke and feared there was a fire.
The crew discovered that there was no fire at the home in Moor Foot Lane, but candles placed close to a heater had melted and given off fumes.
Nobody was injured during the incident, which was reported to North Yorkshire Fire Service at 4.18pm.
