It looks like an evening of domestic strife kept firefighters in North Yorkshire busy last night.

A shattering evening for one was had in York:

It was a wetter night than originally planned for a DIY enthusiast in the Yorkshire Dales:

A "bonkers" building in Leeds is set to get a cash injection ahead of a long-awaited makeover.

The Grade I listed Temple Works building, in Holbeck, has been the subject of several stalled rescue attempts.

Leeds City Council has now agreed to spend money to weatherproof the building, while grand designs for a renovation can be completed.

Councillor Richard Lewis told a meeting about the landmark building's future: "It is a bonkers building in many ways, but has huge potential for the regeneration of the South Bank."

A report stated the building suffered major structural damage in 2008 when part of the roof and frontage fell in.

The site had been earmarked for a new £50m manufacturing facility for fashion giant Burberry, but the company pulled out of the deal in June last year.

It was bought by Commercial Estates Group last November.

The council will provide about £100,000 of the total £400,000 cost for weatherproofing.

If you were one of the people wondering what the loud explosions heard in South Yorkshire last night were - well we can reassure you it wasn't anything sinister.

Firefighters were called out to Liberty Steel in Rotherham at about 22:30 after receiving calls about a series of bangs.

When two crews arrived at the factory they discovered the noise had been caused by water mixing with molten steel, leading to a mini sonic boom.

Police say the site has been checked and all is in order.

Some drivers on the M1 near Barnsley, queuing to get past the scene of a serious accident, swore at members of the emergency services dealing with the incident.

South Yorkshire Police closed the M1 at junction 37 yesterday evening to deal with an overturned van and its occupants.

Officers say traffic was moving again soon after the incident, but two lanes remained closed due to "a large amount of diesel and vehicle debris on the road."

The delay however seemed to anger some motorists.

Police posted a message for impatient drivers on social media saying: "There was no need for a few motorists to swear and use other offensive language at the emergency services for making them a little late.

"If this was you, just think, it may be you in this situation one day and you'll welcome the sounds and sights of the police, ambulance and fire service."

The occupants of the van, who had suffered minor injuries, received treatment at the scene.

The six-inch knife was found by Humberside Police officers carrying out a warrant at a property on Westbourne Avenue.

The incident, which happened near Leeds city centre, has been referred by West Yorkshire Police to the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)

In a statement, an IOPC spokesperson says: "We understand, at this time, an unmarked West Yorkshire Police car was travelling from the city centre to an unrelated incident just after midday.

"The police car hit a 71-year-old woman, a pedestrian, on Roseville Road. She is currently being treated in hospital, where her condition is described as serious.

"A second pedestrian is also thought to have been hit by the police car but left the scene shortly after. It’s unclear if he’s been injured and the force is seeking to trace that person to check his welfare."

A video showing a driver smashing a decommissioned ambulance through a railway barrier and nearly colliding with a passing train in North Yorkshire has been released by police.

Dash-cam footage from a police car shows Shane Hughes, 41, from Halifax, going the wrong way around a roundabout during a 37-mile chase.

He can be seen crashing through a barrier, near Kildwick, North Yorkshire, before running away from the vehicle.

Police officers can be seen frantically trying to warn the driver of the train before it narrowly misses the ambulance, blasting its horn as it thunders past at 70mph:

Hughes, of Ramsgate Street, Halifax, pleaded guilty to a number of driving offences and a charge of theft, claiming the handbrake had not worked on the ambulance.

He was sentenced yesterday at Bradford Crown Court to 22 months in prison after pleading guilty to a number of driving offences and a charge of theft.

About 250 Humberside Police officers could lose their jobs as a result of planned pension changes, a Hull MP has warned the House of Commons.

Speaking during Prime Minster's Questions, the Labour MP for Hull East, Karl Turner, said it would cost the force £9.2m "if the government doesn't change tack".

The government wants police forces to increase the amount they contribute to pensions, but Mr Turner said this could mean Humberside Police cutting the jobs of "130 police officers, or all 250 PCSOs".

Both Labour and Conservative MPs from the Humber region have written to the Home Secretary Sajid Javid saying Home Office funding must be found for the changes.

The Home Office says it's working closely with forces to understand the impact this change will have and that it's also in discussions with police leaders.

Nick Allenby, from Scarborough Fire Station said: "He was a bit bumped and bruised as you would expect, but reasonably OK."
