Morning folks, just a brief update on the Sherburn in Elmet tyre fire. The situation continues to be under control with North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service expected to remain on site for the next two weeks or so. Nearby residents are still advised to avoid any contact with the smoke by remaining indoors as much as possible, and closing windows and doors as a precaution. There will be a strong odour in the air during this period which health officials say is not a cause for concern. As previously advised, if you or someone you know begins to feel unwell, please seek medical assistance without delay. Well keep you updated as things progress and thanks again for your support during the operation.
