Residents were warned to close their windows and doors as multiple teams of firefighters tackled a large grass fire in Mansfield.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service sent seven fire engines and a water carrier in conjunction with Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service to Oak Tree Heath Nature Reserve, where they surrounded the blaze to prevent it spreading to a nearby leisure centre.
Although the fire was finally extinguished around 10pm, the public has been urged to stay away from the area as the firefighters continue to dampen down the area and make it safe, and to close windows and doors in they smell smoke.
