Train Passengers Witness Fire Set by Children in Abandoned ClubTrain Passengers Witness Fire Set by Children in Abandoned Club On Monday evening at approximately 8:57 p.m., train passengers disembarking at Selby railway station were startled to witness a fire engulfing an abandoned club on Station Road. The Selby Railway Club, a former social club for railway staff, had fallen into disrepair and been left empty. According to witnesses, the blaze erupted on the club’s roof. North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service promptly responded to multiple emergency calls and dispatched a crew from Selby to extinguish the fire. Upon investigation, it was determined that a wooden pole on the roof had been ignited in an act of deliberate arson, likely perpetrated by children. The Selby crew swiftly extinguished the fire, preventing further damage to the derelict building. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by unattended abandoned structures and the destructive consequences of arson.
