Firefighters were called when a flood in a farmhouse cellar threatened to swamp the electrics today.

Crews from Rawdon used a pump to get rid of the rising water, which was flooding the cellar after heavy rainfall.

The flood happened at Bramhope Grove Farm, off the Sycamores in Bramhope, at about 6.30am.

It took almost three hours for most of the water to be pumped from the building.
