FIRE crews were called to Ravensthorpe after an amateur fish smoking operation went wrong.

A family were trying to smoke fish in the garden shed at their house on Huddersfield Road.

But at 11.30pm last night, something went wrong with the operation and the shed caught fire, which destroyed the shed and caused damage to the doors and windows of the house.

The house was also smoke- logged and the family had to be evacuated. No-one was injured.

Two fire engines from Dewsbury were called to the scene.
