A statement has been issued after a fire engine was called to a grass fire near a Nottingham residential area. A fire crew was spotted arriving at Edale Road, Sneinton, at around 7.20pm to the scene of a grass fire.
Several calls were made to the emergency service by concerned neighbours, with a 500 sq m area affected by the fire. There had been a more serious 20,000 sq m fire in a similar area on Wednesday, July 20.
The fire is now being dealt with by one fire engine from the London Road station, but a nearby resident said it looked serious before their arrival. Abiola Ollawoyin, 51, lives on Edale road and said: “It was getting big before the fire service crew arrived. I heard the sound from inside the house. I rushed out and I was running down to move close. Then I saw two ladies with children who told me that they called 999.
