Crews from across South Yorkshire gathered at the Grade I listed stately home for a series of drills, aimed at how fire crews would tackle a major incident at the picturesque property.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We ran an exercise at the incredible Brodsworth Hall and Gardens earlier this week.

“We work hard to make sure that we are ready to respond, wherever and whenever needed.
