Firefighters were on hand to help residents in two houses in North Yorkshire after the properties were flooded at 2am on Friday (September 27).

Fire crews from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue were called to Great Ayton at 1.55am this morning after owners of two properties in the village had reported seeing water entering the houses. 

Emergency services attended the houses, where firefighters pumped water levels down in the two properties and gave help to the residents.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service said: "Stokesley crew attended a property after Fire Control received reports of flooding entering the premises. Crews pumped water levels down in two properties."

It's expected that further flooding might be on the way for the region, with the Met Office warns of 'localised flooding' while warnings from police, motoring groups, and council have also been issued. 

Parts of both regions were hit by heavy rain on Thursday (September 26) and Friday (September 27) morning.

While much rain isn't expected to fall on Friday, the Met Office has warned that 'localised flooding' is a possibility, as rivers and other watercourses catch up with the rainfall. 

No weather warning is in place from the Met Office, but several flood alerts from the Environment Agency remain in place for Friday. 

Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: “There will continue to be localised flooding. A lot of these areas have been hit by rain in the past few weeks, so the ground is already saturated.

"Rivers often take time to respond so we’re expecting disruption to continue in central and southern parts throughout the morning. Those planning to travel on Friday should factor this into their journey times.”
