I have just attended an incident with malton & Pickering at Buttercrambe rescuing a 58 year old male who had driven into flood water. He sat in his van for over 5 hours before calling for assistance. Please don’t drive around road closed signs

The Fire and Rescue service are also highlighting that they are there to rescue people and not vehicles.
