Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is urging people to stay away from a 'horrendous' fire at an industrial site. An estimated 1,000 tyres are on fire at the site in Ranskill, near Retford, where nine fire engines were called to at about 10.20am on Friday, August 5.
The crews were joined by Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service in their efforts to tackle the fire. Many residents in the area and neighbouring villages are concerned about the large smoke plume from the fire.
The service has warned people to avoid the area and to close their windows and doors if they see or smell smoke. A spokesperson from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue said: "We're aware that large groups of the public are gathering near this fire.
