Stay away warning as huge wildfire breaks out near to Doncaster's Rossington Hall

Crews from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue are currently at the scene near to the country mansion and nearby Northern Racing College.

A SYFR spokesman said: “Lots of calls coming in about a fire involving fields and a barn off Rossington Road, Great North Road in Doncaster.

“We've got four fire engines on the scene- please avoid the area.”

A spokesman for Rossington Hall said: “Unfortunately due to a nearby incident we are currently without power, which includes our internet and phone line.

"If you need to reach us urgently, please message via Facebook or email [email protected]. This also includes The Lodge.”

It is the third huge grassland fire crews in Doncaster have tackled in the last 24 hours.

Crews spent 10 hours tackling a blaze in Carcroft while fire crews were also called out to Sprotbrough last night.
