A joint investigation by the fire brigade and police was launched.

Fire and police were called to the scene at Manor Close just after 5am on June 19.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue crews took part along with support from Humberside Fire and Rescue, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and North Yorkshire Police.

Police say the fire was brought under control just before 7:30 a.m.

Specialist teams from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue also attended the incident to secure property and assist in the investigation.

Neighbors say a widow and her two sons live at the property, reports ITV News.

One of the sons was reportedly seen calling for help in the street as flames spread around the detached two-storey house.

North Yorkshire Police detectives went door to door asking if anyone had witnessed the fire.

Firefighters used a cherry picker to clear loose and dangerous debris from the burned-out roof skin.

This is intended to allow investigators to conduct a detailed forensic examination of the interior of the home.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on number 101, select option 1 and speak to the Force Control Room.

If you prefer to remain anonymous you can call Crimestoppers on 08000 555 111.
