Several crews from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service raced to the quarry near Cadeby yesterday, after a large number of tyres were found alight.

Crews have spent much of the day damping down at the scene.

At the height of the blaze, five fire engines, plus a water bowser from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, were in attendance with local residents being told to keep doors and windows closed.
