As crews pulled back into Askern, they were then mobilised to an allotment fire and back to Woodlands, not far from the first call out.
A spokesman said: “After a bit of off road driving this was found to be a small fire involving waste in an old BBQ. Swiftly dealt with.”
The Askern team rounded off their day with a call out to Sheffield after a fire alarm was activated in a high rise building.
