Wildfires engulf Doncaster as fourth huge grassland blaze breaks out

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue are currently at two separate incidents in Hatfield and Rossington.

A spokesman said Hatfield was the latest area to be hit and said: “A second large scale incident- this time in Hatfield, Doncaster.

"It's another field fire and we have four fire engines on the scene.”

One eyewitness said a “huge amount of land” had already been destroyed in the blaze near to Old Epworth Road West with 20 firefighters at the scene.

Crews have also been tackling a huge blaze in fields near to Rossington Hall, with members of the public told to stay away from the scene.
