Neighbours who were forced to evacuate their homes following a devastating fire say they have "lost everything." An investigation was launched on Sunday, July 17 after a grass fire in Bestwood spread to a house and threatened to reach nearby homes.
Eight fire engines were called to the blaze in Stevenholme Crescent. The incident was reported to Nottinghamshire Police shortly before 4.45pm.
Officers closed all roads in the immediate vicinity and evacuated 26 neighbouring homes as a precaution while firefighters tackled the blaze. Now, residents living next to the blaze, some of whom have had their gardens destroyed, have spoken about the ordeal.
