A three-piece-suite caused a potentially toxic blaze when it was set alight in South Kirkby.
Firefighters were called to put out the flames at a property on Convent Avenue, at 7.15pm on Thursday.
Mark Faulkner, watch commander at Hemsworth Fire Station, said: “There was a lot of black smoke coming from the three-piece-suite and the smoke that is produced from synthetic materials is bad, it can be toxic and bad for the environment.
