Firefighters successfully negotiated with a three-year-old child after their parent accidentally locked himself out of the house.

Firefighters were called to the Scarborough property just before 2pm BST on Sunday.

Using an extension ladder, they were able to direct the child to get the house keys from a first-floor window that was slightly open.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said it took the crew less than 10 minutes to get in.
