Crews were called to Castle Hills in Scawthorpe on Saturday as temperatures soared with five fire crews battling the huge grassland blaze.

A South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “Please continue to help us.

“No garden fires, leave disposable BBQs at home, take your litter with you, report deliberate fire-setting.”

People were warned to avoid the area as temperatures once more climbed above 30c in Doncaster at the weekend.
