Baby deer given oxygen after being rescued from massive Doncaster moorland fire

Fire crews from Crowle Fire Station came to the aid of the fawn after it was rescued from the huge blaze on Hatfield Moors, now in its fifth day.

A spokesman said: “We have spent many hours over the last few days helping out with the fires on Hatfield Moors.

“Today we managed to help this little guy who is now in the care of the RSPCA.”

The fire broke out at around 5.30pm on Sunday and is now in its fifth day with acres of moorland and wildlife habitat already lost to the flames.

It is feared many wild animals such as snakes and ground nesting birds have perished in the fire which could burn for weeks.

Residents have been advised to keep windows shut while people have been told to stay away from the scene.
