The fire service have issued a message to the public after a large fire in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to a large grass fire in Worksop on July 15, and fought the fire for more than three hours.
Four appliances were deployed to the scene of the fire, with a water carrier also being used. A message has now been issued after fire fighters found evidence of alcohol being recently drank at the site of the incident.
Leigh Holmes, Station Manager for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, on Twitter, said: "Another large grass fire attended near Worksop for @nottsfire crews. 4 appliances and a water carrier have spent over 3 hours fighting this fire, evidence of alcohol drinking near the seat of the fire was found, drink responsibly."

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service were recently called to another grass fire in the north of Nottinghamshire, which is believed to have been a deliberate ignition. Shirebrook Fire Station was alerted to a fire at Oak Tree Heath Nature Reserve in Mansfield shortly after 7pm on July 15 and raced to the scene to find two seats of fire, the first around 400 square metres and the second 600 square metres.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service sent seven fire engines and a water carrier in conjunction with Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service, where they surrounded the blaze to prevent it spreading to a nearby leisure centre. The fire was finally extinguished around 10pm.
