Fire crews were called to a hedge fire at a domestic property on Viking Road in Acomb.
It happened around 8:30 last night (Saturday). Acomb and York responded to the hedge fire which measured 10 x 2 metres.
The owner of the property had used petroleum to ignite the fire inside a brazier, which then accidentally caught fire to the hedge and also damaged the windows to their property.
Two hose reel jets were used to extinguish the fire and a thermal imaging camera was used to check for further hotspots whilst damping down.
Advice was given to the homeowner
