Leeds residents have been left worried after a huge field fire that has come alongside 'a number of local fires' recently in the local area - but the causes are unknown.
Late yesterday afternoon (Weds August 10), residents in Rothwell, east Leeds watched plumes of smoke billow over their houses. A huge field fire had started and spread across the area near Haigh Beck - not far from Wood Lane.
It could be seen all over the area, but the cause is unknown. It comes after a local councillor for Rothwell said there have been a number of fires in Rothwell in the past few months - leaving many worried about whether they were started deliberately or were caused by the hot weather.
